Well, I drove east, but I didn't go home
I just drove out past the false-front neon signs
Great double trucks rumble on the coast road
I'm just not human tonight
Start up in low, and watch them go
With a growl like lions in the zoo

Pardon merci, je suis le grande zombie
I'm just not human tonight

The air got cooler as the highway narrowed
Stinking ocean breeze ran through the night
The cars got fewer and their headlights hurt
I'm just not human tonight
Well, they're just restless, just like you
They've got to take the car out and drive somewhere

Pardon merci, je suis le grande zombie
And I'm just not human tonight

People falling down upon their knees
Watch the night crash down around their ears

I pulled into an all-night cafe
Just to stretch my legs and take a bite
But I couldn't face a naked dinner on a plate
I'm just not human tonight
So pull them in and throw them out
They'd be better off eating cat food at home

Pardon merci, je suis le grande zombie
I'm just not human tonight
