“Just watch.”, Kyla added. I shrugged I guess I’d just have to find out for myself. Ashley walked over to the microphone stand, putting it back in its place as Phil strapped on a guitar and the others in the band went back into their positions. As the first few chords came from Phil’s guitar my eyes widened. I looked over at Kyla, who was grinning widely, “No way!” “Yeah my sister’s got balls that’s for sure and she kills this song!”, Kyla added. I have seen this song butchered more times than I can count, it was a hard one to pull off. Ashley had guts! As the drums joined in and the guitar riffs got harder, I swallowed the softball that had suddenly formed in my throat. Ashley had her eyes closed and her hands on the mic as her hips swayed to the music. Holy shit.. I think I may have just swallowed my tongue! I was broke out of my oh so pleasurable turmoil by Kyla elbowing me in the ribs. Crap, did I just moan out loud? I guess I did because now Kyla is laughing at me. Hey…I can’t help it, Ashley’s voice is so damn sexy…she is singing this song flawlessly.
Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?
(Her honey-colored eyes are open now and she’s looking right at me)
But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...
In your head, in your head,
(Oh eyes lock as she notices me moving to the music, she smiles.)
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
(shit that last part sounded more like moans, I think I may have just exploded right here)
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo...
(there it is again…oh my..)
Another mother's breakin',
Heart is taking over.
When the violence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.
It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...
(There goes the sounds and swaying again…give me strength. She moves around completely engrossed by the sound.)
When the music dies a smile spreads across her face, and the crowd goes completely nuts. She was incredible..I was in awe. Wow….
Ashley walks over to the drummer, the others walking over to them as I see Ashley's lips moving, then watch as the nod and take their places again
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see..how blue..
