about

Lovingly referred to as "The Zombie Song" this song was composed and written for Robert's friend Jimmy Willis

lyrics

When your brothers won't love you at all,
and your sisters are strange as your skin,
and your father is dying but pretends not to know,
and your lips are thirsty and thin,

when you stare at the old southern cross,
when you speak not the tongue of your kin,
you can take off your black face and stand on your own;
it's alright if you won't let me in.

wave goodbye to your sorrow my friend
sleep will come once your body is fed
so keep following me to your end
I’ve a place, for you laid out ahead

keep running and watching your feet
keep painting your hands and mouth red
if you want me please tell me be more discreet
help me pull my tongue unto the bed
