dialogue samples taken from night of the living dead

lyrics

(are they slow-moving, chief?
yeah they're dead, they're... all messed up.
well, uh, in time would you say you oughta be able to wrap this up in 24 hours?)

I never look for angels
but they always seem to find me
the first thing that I thought when I first saw your face
was that you looked like a friend in need

if you had known
would you have shown
some sign that it was right?
you showed me so much of myself
and I'll be grateful for that sight
all my life
but I hate you for crowding up my mind

oh, Andrew, I think about you every month
it's been two years and counting
but we could've had a shot
would it be different if I had said my piece?
said, "oh, Andrew, you're the man for me, you're the man for me"

oh, Andrew, it makes me boil in my bones
the fact I could've had you and now we'll never know
but then you looked so happy curled up next to her lap
I thought "if I really love him I won't go breaking that"

if you had known
would you have shown
some sign that I was right?
she was my friend too
I couldn't hate her for my life
but now I'm stuck with dreams
that ask why I didn't fight
and you fade in the back
'cause I haven't seen you for a while

oh, Andrew, I think about you every month
it's been two years and counting
but we could've had a shot
would it be different if I had said my piece?
said, "oh, Andrew, you're the man for me"
you're the man for me, a masterpiece, too good to be...

(hey, Chad, put that thing all away in the fire, we don't want it getting up again!)

you're the man for me
you're the man for me
a masterpiece too far to see
a man too far to even dream
you're the man
you're the man for me
you're the man

oh, Andrew, I think about you every month
it's been two years and counting
but we could've had a shot
would it be different if I had said my piece?
said, "oh, Andrew, you're the man for me"
said "oh, Andrew, you're the man for me"
oh, Andrew, you're the man for me
you're the man for me, a masterpiece
too good to go beyond a dream
of late nights in washington dc

(well, uh, in time would you say you oughta be able to wrap this up in 24 hours?
well, we don't really know. we know we'll be into it most of the night, probably into the early morning.)
