This song is pure novelty. The point of this piece was for the band Deadbeat to have a theme song. There is no hidden meaning here. It’s a song about zombies. In its day, this was a fun song to act out.

lyrics

Sliding out of the dirt.
Crawling up through the earth.
Ghostly bodies in heat. Deadbeat.
Back sore from the sleep.
We dance seething in the street.
Scare everybody we meet. Deadbeat.
Relics exhumed from the grave.
Some freshly decayed.
Strip off the winding sheet. Deadbeat.
Slide along on the dirt.
Decrepit bodies emerge.
Flesh rots off your feet. Deadbeat.
