[Verse 1]
You caught me doing the hallway shuffle
One shoe dragging, the other in trouble
You said, “Frank, you’re moving like the dead”
I said, “Not dead—just negotiating with my legs”
[Pre-Chorus]
My hands have got a mind of their own
My coffee takes the scenic route home
[Chorus]
I’m a Parkinsonian zombie, laughing through the night
A little stiff at the graveyard, but my heart’s still all right
Young-onset monster with a joke in my grin
If the moon says “get moving,” I’ll eventually begin
[Verse 2]
The neighbors hide their candy in a bowl
I reach for one and start a little rock-and-roll
My knees keep time in a peculiar way
The skeletons applaud; they know the sway
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days the fog rolls in too soon
So I bring a flashlight and a better joke to the room
[Chorus]
I’m a Parkinsonian zombie, laughing through the night
A little stiff at the graveyard, but my heart’s still all right
Young-onset monster with a joke in my grin
If the moon says “get moving,” I’ll eventually begin
[Bridge]
This isn’t a curse, and it isn’t the end
It’s a strange road, and I’ve got good friends
So save me a seat by the pumpkin parade
I’ll arrive when I arrive—this entrance is handmade
[Guitar Break]
[Final Chorus]
I’m a Parkinsonian zombie, laughing through the night
A little stiff at the graveyard, but my heart’s still all right
Young-onset monster, still raising a cheer
I may take my time, but I’m absolutely here
[Outro]
Absolutely here
Just give me a minute
