They came in under the radar

When our backs were turned around

In a fleet of Lincoln Town Cars

They rolled  to our town

Confounded all six senses

Like an opiate in the brain

We pounded Rachel's radio

    Gm6/D    Gm6
For reports about the bridge

          Bm9/F#  Bm9
There was nothing on  but static

Bm9/F#  Bm9
Nothing in the fridge

   Gm6/D   Gm6
We lay     there listening to the world

Gm6/D     Gm6
Whistling through the pines

        Bm9/F#    Bm9

Saw the headlights through the blinds

Cause this zombie does impressions

        Gm6/D Gm6
But not really to amuse

This ballad is for lovers
