Reggae Mortis
Dance with Dread: Unveiling the Jamaican Undead
Lyrics
I find it very, very scary
I feel a strong sense of fear.
To be diggin' in a cemetery
I'm uncomfortable digging in a graveyard.
In a cool Jamaican breeze
Doing this in a pleasant Jamaican environment.
There's a zombie I set him free
There's a zombie that I've released.
I let him loose from his grave
I've set him free from his burial place.
Kingston-town is no more safe
Kingston-town is now unsafe.
An experiment malign
There's a malicious experiment at play.
With a reggae Frankenstein
A Frankenstein creation with a reggae twist.

Hell, I hope it's not Reggae Mortis

I'm stiff in the knees

Jah, damn this disease reggae Mortis

I'll get to the point
Getting straight to the point of the problem.
It's messing up my joints

Now, as I stand here on this cliff
Describing the current location, a cliff.
With a zombie who is miffed
The zombie is annoyed or displeased.
I gotta ask myself, "What if
Raising a hypothetical question about offering the zombie a spliff (joint or marijuana cigarette).
I were to give that stiff a spliff?"
A continuation of the hypothetical scenario.
