lyrics

The late Holly Rose Abercrombie Became both a ghost and a zombie And soon found her feathers a-ruffling At all of the moaning and shuffling It wasn't the self she was used to - This nitwit she now was reduced to Who prattled repetitive patter Of calling for tasty grey matter (Brains, brains, brains, brains) The late Holly Rose Abercrombie Became both a ghost and a zombie You see, she was once an attorney Before she embarked on her journey From wealthy and well-composed barrister To decomposed shell which embarrassed her As off it went, rapt and raptorial She watched from her form incorporeal Dismayed at each action it took But powerless to all but look The late Holly Rose Abercrombie Became both a ghost and a zombie Oh, weep for the loss of her splendour When brains weren't her only agenda Her skirt vivisected and tattered! Her stockings with viscera spattered! Her wig now beyond any help In the dust with the rest of her scalp And her long arm of practicing law Lying limp on the federal floor The late Holly Rose Abercrombie Became both a ghost and a zombie People liked her better this way

I Calm Myself in the Mirror 03:46

I know myself I know this hunger What comes next is horrible But it's necessary Those stupid teens deserve what's coming I'll savor it When my knife cuts through them I'll calm myself in the mirror Put on my mask It's my true face Can’t hide my smile When they think their safe That’s when I strike I love it when the struggle It just cracks me up It's a futile struggle Cause they die one by one I'll start with the indecent couple Nothing personal Hard to break that habit The final girl will probably kill me But don't be sad, there'll be a sequel When they think it’s safe That’s when I strike I love it when the struggle It just cracks me up It's a futile struggle Cause they die one by one My black dog won’t be denied
