Genius Roky Erickson Lyric of the Day #5
Posted by Derek Erdman on Fri, Mar 1, 2013 at 1:40 PM
An excerpt from "I Walked With a Zombie," originally released on Evil One from 1981:
I walked with a zombie
I walked with a zombie
I walked with a zombie last nightI walked with a zombie
I walked with a zombie
I walked with a zombie last nightI walked with a zombie
I walked with a zombie
I walked with a zombie last nightI walked with a zombie
(He walked with a zombie)
I walked with a zombie
(He walked with a zombie)
I walked with a zombie last night
- Roky Erickson by Timothy Thomas

Though I appreciate you sharing Roky's message with the world this song is not entitled "If You Have Ghosts". Believe it or not it is in fact called "I Walked With A Zombie".
