Description
Katrina song. Cyril is Cyril Neville. Influenced by Kevin Ayers, particularly "Song from the Bottom of a Well." I am proud of the hairball wah-wah guitar solos, whether I should be or not.
Lyrics
Standing on the corner, looking at the sky Hoping that Jesus is gonna come by That poor poor fella, he's not quite right in the head But you gotta get used to it in the City of the Walking Dead Cyril got angry and moved out of town - He said they blew up the levees to keep the people down And you wanna know something, that's not the weirdest thing that's been said There's all kinds of rumors in the City of the Walking Dead It's not hard to understand that look in their eye when you've seen coffins go floating by - Standing on the roof, say Mr. Helicopter Man, won't you please come by and get us - when you can In someone else's apartment, in somebody else's town You wake up shaking when the wind blows around Your heart is pounding, you can't get back to bed Sit up all night long in fear of the walking dead
