| % She's a good girl, loves her mama Loves Jesus and America too She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis Loves horses and her boyfriend too It's a long day livin' in Reseda There's a freeway runnin' through the yard And I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart And I'm free, I'm free fallin' All the vampires walkin' through the valley Move west down Ventura Boulevard And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows All the good girls are home with broken hearts And I'm free, I'm free fallin'
Do this little thing:
E|-4----4-2---0-2-0--
right before the backing vocals go "Free fallin, yeah I'm free fallin" twice
after the chorus right before the next verse.
I wanna glide down over Mulholland I wanna write her name in the sky I wanna free fall out into nothin' Gonna leave this world for awhile And I'm free, I'm free fallin'

Cute little dropout, how come you pack a rod Is your mother in a clinic? Has your father got no job? Sometimes you're so impulsive, you shaved off all your hair You look like Boris Karloff and you don't even care Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo Painted in a corner and all you wanna do Is dance down at the Zombie Zoo

She disappears at sunrise I wonder where she goes

Half alive
Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo You can make a big impression or GO through life unseen You might wind up restricted and over seventeen It's so hard to be careful, so easy to be led Somewhere beyond the pavement you'll find the living dead
