I got inspired by an illustration ("let down your hair" by sojushots) that I found from the website hitRECord.org, and wrote this song, and it happened so quickly! After writing it, I remember thinking: "Well THIS is exciting!"

"I just saw a lady with the longest dark hair
and I think she's a living dead!"

They decided to set her long hair on fire,
