Here i stand in silence Amongst my family and Strangers to escape the violence We dare not wander upstairs The outside world is full of terror The stuff of nightmares There she is laying right there With that look that says she loves me That she needs me There she is laying right there And i know just what she wants from me She needs her daddy Come lay your weary head Upon this makeshift bed The outside we do dread On night of the living dead Here we stand again In the confines of this basement Our imprisonment We can hear something moving Sounds like it's in the kitchen Is it one of them A woman lets out a scream So we go ahead and rush upstairs to survey the scene There they are standing right there And i know just what they want from me they want my baby Come lay your weary head Upon this makeshift bed The outside we do dread On night of the living dead And they tell me that hiding In the basement is a mistake We should board the walls and floors and doors and plan our escape I tell them that i disagree and he just don't like me Says he is the boss up here, i can be the boss down there So here i am again Laying on the pavement In the basement I wanna see my baby So i crawl to her gourney and i see it's empty There she is standing right there As she digs a garden spade into her mother's chest There she is coming right at me And i know just what she wants from me She has to feed Come lay your weary head Upon this makeshift bed The outside we do dread On night of the living Everyone else is dead We really should have fled Ben shoots us in the head On night of the living dead
