Belive it or not I was a beauty queen,
I was the toast of the rock n' roll scene,
I had all the friends that money could buy,
but I would give it all up, just to be alive.
If they could see me now, that little gang of mine,
You can bet your ass they'd run a mile,
If my friends could see me now...

Nobody likes you when your dead.
It just ain't right.
Just 'cause I'm biting on your head, there's no need to be impolite,
An' if I still had eyes, then I would surely cry,
Nobody likes you when you're dead,
An' that's the story of my life.

See the repulsion on your faces...
Have you looked in a mirror lately?
Have you ever been a teenage dream?
My daddy was a TV, my mommy was a magazine,
The only man that I ever loved was the same motherfucker who cut me up.
He cut me up in a special way,
Made me what I am today,
If my friends could see me now...

    General Comment:To me, this song is about a very popular and liked girl who, after turned into a zombie, finds out that she was only liked for her looks.

    General Comment:Um.. Yeah.. Well thsi part
    "Have you looked in a mirror lately?
    Have you ever been a teenage dream?
    My daddy was a TV, my mommy was a magazine,"
    Kinda makes me think of the overly-skinny models these days.. Maybe eating disorders and stuff?

    General Comment:I agree with Ravenwolf. I think she fell in love with a man who killed her, turning her into a ZOMBIE-not a skeleton. If you want to take names into consideration, konton, it's 'ZOMBINA and the Skeletones'. Zombies don't have to have eyes. They're zombies.

    General Comment:She was not turned into a zombie, zombies have eyes-"An' if I still had eyes, then I would surely cry"-meaning she has no eyes, which makes me think she is a skeleton, hence the name Zombina and the Skeletones

    General Comment:No, I think it's about a girl who had everything, and fell in love with this guy who murdered her. So I guess in that case, he did turn her into a zombie, but not on purpose.

    General Comment:No comments on the BEST Zombina song? Gutted.

    It's about a girl Zombina, who is very very popular and supermodel pretty
    "Believe it or not I was a beauty queen. . . ."
    And then falls in love with a zombie
    Or someone who turns her into a zombie
    "He cut me up in that special way, made me what I am today"
    And discovers that nobody likes her when she is dead.
