  1. last october
  2. I had an emotional affair with a Scarywood actor.
  3. He promised safe passage through a land filled with zombies,
  4. gun reports, muzzle flashes, and worse;
  5. then looked right at me and shouted, "You with the glasses!
  6. Get these people to the extraction!"
  7. or something like that, I mean, I was wearing glasses at night`
  8. and this place has some trippy attractions, so you know
  9. where my mind was at when
  10.  
  11. I had an emotional affair with a daytime TV anchor.
  12. She promised safe passage through a land filled with zombies,
  13. breaking reports, camera flashes, and a twenty-four hour news cycle;
  14. then looked right at me and whispered, "Give us your passion!
  15. Open your wallet for extraction!"
  16. or something like that, you know I was wearing glasses inside
  17. and these joints are laced with acid, feels like
  18. any day now the whole damn complex will collapse.
  19.  
  20. They made the building's floor move and jump so
  21. you couldn't trust your own footing underneath
  22. They take the high ground to deliver salvation
  23. from the best firing arcs,
  24. so you can't even raise your hands for help
  25. or to shield from the debris.
  26. They had animatronics screaming from the shadows,
  27. and 3d models labelled bad news.
  28. I mean, they had proof, so I believed them;
  29. why else would we be running from these people?
  30.  
  31. When we heard the gunfire from the parking lot,
  32. Three weeks after Vegas and ten days before Boston,
  33. I had to wonder if some internet radio talk show warned the others
  34. I was the zombie
  35.  
  36. But it's times like these
  37. that bring opportunities to fall in love.
  38. Looking up at someone breaking the sound barrier
  39. to deliver you from evil
  40. and doing it all with rugged good looks,
  41. then... looking him up to find out
  42. he's a full-time magician at Silverwood.
  43.  
  44. He taught me a magic trick,
  45. how to stop the zombies faster than
  46. they can even open their mouths -
  47. you gotta shoot 'em in the head.
  48. Not because you fear their intelligence,
  49. it's just the source of our infection.
  50.  
  51. And I see some creeping up behind you
  52. right now - yeah, you with the glasses
  53. Why don't you do something about it?
  54. Don't you wanna make the news?
