LYRICS

She’s got a hole in her head but I still love her
She came back from the dead looking for a lover
I met her at the mall she was hanging with some freaks
They were all decomposed and it scared the hell out of me
Guess that’s kids these days they’re always dressed in black
Every night is Halloween they’re looking for a snack
I fell in love with her but it was not in vain
Seemed I’d finally met someone who liked me for my brains

I fell in love with her but it was not in vain
Seemed I’d finally met someone who liked me for my brains
They’ll be green grass growing over me before I ever get over her
She’s a killer
A thriller
Dead like me

She was twenty-three although she looked much older
Being alive was weird to her she felt much colder
She sure looked good in black or at a funeral service
A fountain coke a drive-in show and she was picture perfect
Then I introduced her to my mama and my dad
Mama turned white as a ghost said that I was mad
You can love someone to death for all its worth
When there’s no more room in hell the dead will walk the earth

I fell in love with her but it was not in vain
Seemed I’d finally met someone who liked me for my brains
They’ll be green grass growing over me before I ever get over her
She’s a killer
A thriller
Dead like me

Up until the epidemic spread through our town
The better part of Allegheny County never got me down
There was a witch-hunt brewing and I knew what is was
On a cold November’s night they came looking for us
The cops the news and all of Monroeville came to see the show
They took my baby from my arms and threw her in the snow
They shot her cold blooded in the back of the head
They all cheered and honked their horns now she was really dead
Now she’s got a hole in her head but I sill love her

I fell in love with her but it was all in vain
I thought I’d finally met someone who liked me for my brains
They’ll be green grass growing over me before I ever get over her
She’s a killer
A thriller
Dead like me
