Bad Idea Lyrics - Singles - Lemon Demon

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 

I was just a normal chap 

but I shoulda brought a map 

I shoulda (background) brought a map 

shoulda woulda coulda woulda 

shoulda woulda coulda woulda 

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 

maybe this was a bad idea 

oh no 

maybe this was a bad idea 

oh no 

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 fricking 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!!" 

then I saw the living dead 

it was then I shoulda fled 

I shoulda(background)fled 

shoulda woulda coulda woulda 

shoulda woulda coulda woulda 

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, screamin' 

maybe this was a bad idea 

oh no 

maybe this was a bad idea 

oh no 

this was a bad idea 

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 

it's time to kick some zombie ass, lah lah lah lah lah lah 

it's time to kick some zombie ass, lah lah lah lah lah lah
