smell like cigarettes creeps softly through the vents
the room is filling up with smoke and little bodies
tell all the boys and girls from school to
keep breaking all the rules
to let their parents know they're individuals
datura flakes off from your lips
you've lost the swagger in your hips
your eyes are turning blue to gray
your skin feels soft and sagging down
your arms drag across the ground with each step you take
and they fall from the jungle gyms
and they fall
and piss away each night among the sound of bodies crawling round the room
I can smell their flesh on everything left in this room
chalk and scattered crayons on empty desks for weeks
finding clumps of unwashed hair caught between the vents blowing
carry their little bodies
to the cemetery
so gently
please don't let their necks crook towards the ground.
the room is filling up with smoke and little bodies
tell all the boys and girls from school to
keep breaking all the rules
to let their parents know they're individuals
datura flakes off from your lips
you've lost the swagger in your hips
your eyes are turning blue to gray
your skin feels soft and sagging down
your arms drag across the ground with each step you take
and they fall from the jungle gyms
and they fall
and piss away each night among the sound of bodies crawling round the room
I can smell their flesh on everything left in this room
chalk and scattered crayons on empty desks for weeks
finding clumps of unwashed hair caught between the vents blowing
carry their little bodies
to the cemetery
so gently
please don't let their necks crook towards the ground.

"KILLBOT 2000 is about the plagues that the devil brings down on the city. We had to tie in zombies SOMEHOW, because zombies are so so sweet. The song begins like many classic zombie movies; a strange smoke/fog begins to disperse itself throughout a building (in this case, an elementary school) and people begin to breathe it in. The sickness begins to come on, and their bodies begin to deteriorate. The line "Datura flakes off from your lips" is one a lot of people cant figure out what I'm saying- Datura is part of the typical zombie poison that causes delusions, mental confusion, disorientation, amnesia and an impenetrable stupor, all typical characteristics of zombies. The chorus is pretty self explanatory- "And they fall from the jungle gyms and piss away each night among the sound of bodies crawling round the room". We're talking zombie children here. The second verse is simply background- rotting flesh, dead kids, hair falling out, all the things that make zombies great. The big climax is simply about the parents carrying the corpses of their children to the cemetary and burying them. Nobody can seem to understand what I'm saying at the very end of this song, but the line is "Carry their little bodies to the cemetary ever so gently, please don't let their necks crook towards the ground." As you can see, this song is pretty self explanatory"
But yes. They are awesome... anyone with a song about zombies is cool. :-D
i love mbd. everyone must see their live performance. they're amazing.
They say the whole CD "Who Will Survive..." is one story, and the song is about the kids literally turning into zombies. It's on the site.
i love concept albums
