[Verse A1]

Every once in a while there is a shooting star

People say they're good luck, but even if they are

There's not a star in motion that could help me now

I'm in serious trouble, and I don't know how

A pack of deadly creatures followed me back here

I am desperately hiding as they're drawing near

I wish I knew what to do or where I lost my way

So I'm carefully thinking back to yesterday

[Chorus 1]

I was just a normal chap

But I shoulda brought a map, I shoulda

Shoulda, woulda, coulda, woulda

Shoulda, woulda, coulda, woulda

[Verse B1]

I got lost and I wound up on a dirt road

I saw signs, and in retrospect they did bode

Bad things, but I shrugged and I still drove

Through to a town where my bad luck overflowed

Everybody in town was nowhere to be seen

So I parked near a house that was marked thirteen

I went up to the door, but there was no one there

And when I turned around, my car was gone, I swear

So I ran to a pay phone but there was no tone

I had an eerie feeling in my very bones

And soon it started to rain, and there was no way out

I couldn't hold my frustration, and began to shout:

[Hook]

"Maybe this was a bad idea, oh no

Maybe this was a bad idea, oh no"

[Verse A2]

I was stuck in the rain and I was mad as hell

So I began to run, but then I slipped and fell

I tumbled down a hill into a cemetery

I shouldn't have to tell you it was freaking scary

I tried to stand back up, but something held me down

A dead, rotting arm was reaching from the ground

I was utterly helpless till I saw the Sword

I quickly sliced my captor yelling, "PRAISE THE LORD!"

[Chorus 2]

Then I saw the living dead;

It was then I shoulda fled, I shoulda

Shoulda, woulda, coulda, woulda

Shoulda, woulda, coulda, woulda

[Verse B2]

But I stood like a pillar in a hallway

I knew I'd be slaying demons that day

I stared at the rotting heaps of pure decay

And I charged with the force of a gamma ray

It happened in slow motion, I began the fight

Some sort of power kept me going through the night

With that mysterious sword beheading beasts and ghouls

Just me versus them, without any rules

But many more kept rising up from shallow graves

I did my best to fight them, but they came in waves

And soon it was too much, just demon after demon

So I ran as quickly as I could, screaming

[Hook]

"Maybe this was a bad idea, oh no

Maybe this was a bad idea, oh no

This was a bad idea"

[Bridge]

So here I am, hiding from fate

I can't win, it's just too late

But something must be done

Yes sirree, this war must be won

I know this, I won't die hiding

I know this, I must keep fighting

I don't know who the winner's gonna be

But there's just one way to see

[Outro]

It's time to kick some zombie ass, la la la la la la!

It's time to kick some zombie ass, la la la la la la!
