Zombie Stomp
Rob Zombie/Ozzy Osbourne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I need something to kill the pain
Don't know what I'm after
But the pressure's driving me insane
Searching for a different ride
Had a funny feeling I can't hide
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Alone without the misery
Hey, hey, do the zombie, the zombie stomp
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Flirting with disaster
Morning after killing me again
Hiding from the laughter
And the demons dancing round my brain
Always dancing on thin ice
I guess I'll have to pay the price
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Thinking how it could have been
If I had never let them in
Hey, hey, do the zombie, the zombie stomp
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Take me to the doctor
'Cause I feel it coming on again
Don't know where I'm going
'Cause I guess I don't know where I've been
Looking for a different ride
Always dancing on thin ice
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Thinking how it could have been
If I had never let them in
Hey, hey, do the zombie, the zombie stomp
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp

Alone without the misery
I'd rather be by myself than in pain
Hey, hey, do the zombie, zombie stomp
I'll keep dancing and ignoring my problems
Flirting with disaster
I'm approaching danger without fear
Morning after killing me again
My actions are causing me harm and regret
Hiding from the laughter
I'm avoiding situations where I might be laughed at
And the demons dancing round my brain
I'm tormented by my own dark thoughts
Always dancing on thin ice
I'm constantly risking everything for nothing
I guess I'll have to pay the price
I'll suffer consequences for my recklessness
Hey, hey, do the zombie stomp
I'll keep dancing to forget my troubles
Thinking how it could have been
I'm imagining a better life if I made different choices
If I had never let them in
If I had never allowed certain people in my life
Hey, hey, do the zombie, zombie stomp
I'll dance to escape the reality of my regrets
Take me to the doctor
I need medical attention
'cause I feel it coming on again
Because I'm experiencing the same pain again
Don't know where I'm going
I'm lost and uncertain about my future
'cause I guess I don't know where I've been
Because I'm unsure of my past and how it's impacting my present
