    Story Behind the Song
    A sad but true story of romantic loss, unplanned pregnancy and some of the more annoying aspects of human nature.

    Lyrics
    you were asleep at the wheel that night
    when I slipped from my senses and out of your sight
    I ushered myself through the manicured grounds
    while my progress was measured in ounces and pounds
    in make-believe cities
    I cried out for pity
    and zombies make note of the root of my problem:
    I only want the things that I can't have

    you were not pushed but you stumbled and fell
    all aghast with the knowledge I'd seeded your well
    but nobody twisted your arm out of joint
    and the proof's in the pudding each time that you point
    I've been through the motions
    I've humored your notions
    and zombies make note of the root of my problem
    I only want the things I've left behind

    you were slow dancing and asked me to join
    but the offer hit me like a kick to the groin
    I tried to decline but I couldn't resist
    the hand on my shoulder, the blade at my wrist
    in times of confusion
    I foster illusion
    and zombies make note of the root of my problem
    I only want the things that make me ill
