Portrait of A Two Bit Zombie Lyrics

Portrait of a Two-bit Zombie

Keep on talking I'm not listening

Keep on smiling I'm not here

I'm married to the season divorced from the coming year

A castle in the darkness is the home that I have built

The flowers round the moat let out a sign before they wilt

The graveyard vines keep crawling to the back door without cause

I beat them back with love songs although I've never know applause

And I'm standing in the tower with a keyboard and guitar

Gulping in the moonlight honey and coughing up the tar

Smoking on a cigarette and whistling to the bats

A song about the hobo who is saving helpless cats

Trading useless friendships for the solitude of truth

And explaining that I've lost both eyes but I found an extra tooth

So keep on talking I can't hear you

Keep on touching me baby I can't feel

Because I'm married to the season I'm a trained performing seal

A castle in the darkness is the home that I have built

And the flowers round the moat let out a sign before they wilt

Yeah the flowers round the moat let out a sign before they wilt
