Dirty Projectors – Zombie Conquerer lyrics

(feat. Empress Of)

[Verse 1: David Longstreth]
Crazy to feel like this
Up and down, simultaneous
Victory and defeat
One to one, we'll have to wait and see

And now the clouds are gathered
My eyes are bright, my back is tattered

[Pre-Chorus 1: David Longstreth]
The stakes are raised
The townspeople are anxious and alert
The surface of the reservoir is mirrored and inert
The flag is hanging motionless on the pole outside the door
And in their homes the people look with stares they can't avert

[Chorus: David Longstreth]
Zombie conqueror
We see into the midnight in front of us
Zombie conqueror
We see into the midnight in front of us
My friend, we'll have to free each other more than once
Zombie conqueror
We see into the midnight in front of us
Night, night

[Verse 2: David Longstreth]
I have [?]
[?]
After life goes by only [?]

And now the clouds are gathered
My eyes are bright, my back is tattered

[Pre-Chorus 2: David Longstreth]
The blocking characters are plotting new disloyalty
But sensing their irrelevance, they're [?] and displeased
The car chased through the mini-mall and [?] on the hood
The race to clear the courthouse has been won and all is good

[Chorus: David Longstreth + Empress Of]
(Zombie conqueror)
(Zombie conqueror)
Zombie conqueror (zombie conqueror)
We see into the midnight in front of us
Zombie conqueror (zombie conqueror)
We see into the midnight in front of us
My friend, we'll have to free each other more than once
Zombie conqueror (zombie conqueror)
We see into the midnight in front of us
Night, night
