about

This is a song about infidelity and zombies, about how they are both always going to be a problem.

lyrics

Go pick up my gun
it's right above the fireplace
firmly in your clutch
they're coming from the dark

and whose house is this?
Whose hands can she still feel?
and who sleeps between these sheets
between her body and yours?

no one should have to know this
oh no one should have to know this
but I do

Barbara get the keys
take my car to town
buy yourself a nice dress
wear it through the seams

and whose mistress are you
for I have no one for me
and I could put all I have into you
for your lips they look so sweet

and no one will have to know
oh no one will have to know
about us

a band of morning workhorse
drawing in the faint light
they pass just like the leaves
the cavalcade has come

because nothing changes here
oh we shoot what we can kill
and whosoever should cross our path
of their meat we'll make a meal

and the sea will ride the tide
oh the sea will rush to shore
once more

Sometimes mellow and bittersweet; a songbird at your window sill and at other times a thunderous full-throated roar of emotive stomping and hollering like a wild preacher of the end-times!
