Zombie Stomp Lyrics

I don't need a doctor
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 role
Had a funny feeling I can't hide
Hey, hey, do the Zombie Stomp
Why can't they just let me be
Alone without the misery
Hey, hey, do the Zombie, 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
Thinkin' how it could have been
If I had never let them in
Hey, hey, do the Zombie, 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, 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

I don't need a doctor
But I need something to kill  the pain
Don't know what I'm after
But the pressure's driving me insane

Flirting with disaster
Morning after killing me again
Hiding from the laughter
And the demons dancing round my brain

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Dancing on thin ice is a faily standard euphemism to doing somehing risky.

I always thought it was a song about being hungover... I've got a friend who shambles like a zombie when drunk or hungover.... Need footage for blackmail potential....

I, too, think this is an anti-alcoholism song. The "Zombie Stomp" being how people walk after drinking too much. I like how Ozzy jokingly makes the song sound like a late-80s/early-90s dance tune.

i think its about drinking "Morning after killing me again" hangover "Always dancing on thin ice I guess I'll have to pay the price" drinking is dangerous. makes you do things youll regret later....etc

i personally think it is about the negatives that come with use of a substance. Referring to the day after and looking for a different ride(not role?) "got a funny feeling i cant get high (not hide?) maybe referring to resistance that builds with substance abuse....anyway i dont think its a reference to a specific drug, especially cocaine, besides ice usually refers to methamphetamine....black sabbath already did a song about cocaine its named snowblind
