Guess what, it's ANOTHER filk. There have been recently many filks based on Paul simon songs. So I figured I'd base mine on one too. This one is based on "Slip Slidin' Away" (we're running out of famous Paul Simon tunes), as sung by Largo:
Dead Zombies Attack
Dead zombies attack
Dead zombies atta---ack
You know, The more I came closer, the more dead zombies attacked
Oh, Dom and I, we went to track Ed up
a big explosion then appeared in the town
And when we got there, Oh what a sight!
Hordes and legions of undead
came dropping from the skies
Dead zombies attack
Dead zombies atta---ack
You know, The more I came closer, the more dead zombies attacked
We found Ed, all scarred and burnt
a Medipack is all we needed to get him right
I saw a good one, just out of reach
I saw zombies it camping, but it was just too late.
Dead zombies attack
Dead zombies atta---ack
You know, The more I came closer, the more dead zombies attacked
I knew my ammo was gone
and jammed were all my other guns
I came a long way, and it was clear
despite my efforts, all my trials,
the end was n34r.
Dead zombies attack
Dead zombies atta---ack
You know, The more I came closer, the more dead zombies attacked
Oh, jaded I was
and weary and sick
But a stroke of brightness came upon me like a thunderbolt -
my secret weapon i drew
all shiny and cool
"ph34r my cool thing" I exclaimed
as more dead zombies attacked.
Dead zombies attack
Dead zombies atta---ack
You know, The more I came closer, the more dead zombies attacked
Dead zombies attack
Dead zombies atta---ack
You know, The more I came closer, the more dead zombies attacked

Here's the original lyrics as performed by Simon & Garfunkel:
Slip Slidin' Away
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away
Whoah and I know a man, he came from my hometown
He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown
He said Dolores, I live in fear
My love for you's so overpowering, I'm afraid that I will disappear
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away
I know a woman, who became a wife
These are the very words she uses to describe her life
She said a good day ain't got no rain
She said a bad day is when I lie in the bed
And I think of things that might have been
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away
And I know a father who had a son
He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he'd done
He came a long way just to explain
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
Then he turned around and he headed home again
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away
Whoah God only knows, God makes his plan
The information's unavailable to the mortal man
We're workin' our jobs, collect our pay
Believe we're gliding down the highway, when in fact we're slip sliding away
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away
