Make Me a Zombie

Letra

[Verse 1] You left your number on the morgue-room door In red lipstick, crooked on the four I woke beneath the buzzing tube-light hum With your old promise stuck inside my lungs [Pre-Chorus] The lock gave way, the cold air rushed I heard your laugh through the ambulance hush [Chorus] Make me a zombie, make me your mistake Drag me through the dark for old time’s sake Make me a zombie, stitch up what you broke I’ll come back hungry every time you go [Verse 2] Your silver ring was buried in my coat A little keepsake with a razor note The cemetery gate swung on one hinge I followed your tracks past the waterlogged ridge [Pre-Chorus] You said my name like a match struck dry I clawed through the dirt to answer why [Chorus] Make me a zombie, make me your mistake Drag me through the dark for old time’s sake Make me a zombie, stitch up what you broke I’ll come back hungry every time you go [Bridge] You wanted devotion that never could die Now every shovel comes back with a lie You made a monster to keep at your side Don’t look surprised when I step inside [Final Chorus] Make me a zombie, make me your mistake Drag me through the dark for old time’s sake Make me a zombie, stitch up what you broke I’ll come back hungry every time you go Make me a zombie—now you know the cost You called me back, but the person is lost [Outro] The lock gave way I’m here to stay
