The Magnetic Fields - Zombie Boy lyrics

Two roosters I slew and with all of my might
I prayed, hard, for you in Haiti at night

Your skin has turned blue
And your hair has turned white
Must be the voodoo of this Haitian moonlight

We can't take day trips
But oh, those moonlight strolls
Dressed up in silk slips
High heels and mink stoles
You swivel your hips as I work the controls
No blood ever drips when I widen your holes

Zombie boy, zombie boy
Zombie boy, zombie boy

You seem to have died
Of some form of the pox they left you inside
Your tiny black box



I heard when you cried
And I answered your knocks
Let's make you a bride
With another two cocks

You look pretty pure
For so long in the ground
You smell like a sewer
But, you don't make a sound

I feed you ordure to keep Poopsie spellbound
I like to be sure you'll be sticking around

Zombie boy, zombie boy
Zombie boy, zombie boy
Zombie boy, zombie boy
Zombie boy, zombie boy
