0:12My day was so mundane
0:13I don't think I left the house
0:17Drank a pot of coffee
0:19Tried to write, nothing came out
0:23Somehow it's the weekend
0:25I'm still bored out of my skull
0:29And I went to a party
0:31But only on principle
0:34Empty, look at me
0:40I'm a zombie in my body
0:43I'm a train off of the track
0:46I feel dirty, I feel rotten
0:49And the colors are all flat
0:52I'm a sad shell of a woman
0:55And I've got maggots for brains
0:57But that's just the thing that happens
1:00When my
1:02When my baby goes away
1:08When my baby goes away
1:13He goes away
1:16Everything feels moldy
1:18Like the fruit that's in my fridge
1:21And everything that's funny
1:24I wish I could tell to him
1:27And sometimes at a low point
1:30I even wish for a tragedy
1:33'Cause I know he'd come over
1:36And take real good care of me
1:39It's weird, he's not here
1:44I'm a zombie in my body
1:47I'm a train off of the track
1:50I feel dirty, I feel rotten
1:53And the colors are all flat
1:56I'm a sad shell of a woman
1:59And I've got maggots for brains
2:02But that's just the thing that happens
2:05When my
2:06When my baby goes away
2:12When my baby goes away
2:18He goes away
2:21What can I do
2:25But think of you
2:28But think of you
2:32What can I do
2:37But think of you
2:40But think of you
2:44♪
3:06I'm a zombie in my body
