karaoke
The night is still
and the frost it bites my face
I wear my silence like a mask
and murmur like a ghost
"Trick or Treat"
"Trick or Treat"
The bitter and the sweet
The carefree days
are distant now
I wear my memories like a shroud
I try to speak but words collapse
Echoing
"Trick or Treat"
"Trick or Treat"
The bitter and the sweet
I wander though your sadness
gazing at you with scorpion eyes
Halloween......Halloween
A sweet reminder
in the ice-blue nursery
of a childish murder
of hidden lustre
and she cries
"Trick or Treat"
"Trick or Treat"
The bitter and the sweet
I wander through your sadness
gazing at you with scorpion eyes
Halloween......Halloween
How did we get here?
How the hell..pan left--close on the steeple of the church. How did I get here, how the hell?
Christmas! Christmas eve, last year. I could a night so frozen be so scalding hot? How can a morning
this mild be so raw? Why are entire years strewn on the cutting room floor of memory as single frames
of one magic night forever flicker in close up on the 3-D Imax of my mind. Thats poetic- thats
pathetic. Why did Mimi knock on Roger's door? and Collins choose that phone booth back where Angel
set up his drums. Why did Maureen's equiptment break down? Why am I the witness and when I capture it
on film does it mean that its the end and I'm alone.
Heart stops beating, all the words worth repeating
She is dancing but not singing, is it maybe that she doesn't know the words?
She's dressed up, but don't worry, she's got friends
Snowflake eating, she is mildly self-defeating
And the secrets that she's keeping they are really only dangerous to her
Ships ain't sinking
We are here to help you sing your songs
We are here to help you sing your songs
Because tomorrow comes and no one calls
She stops grinning when the room it starts spinning
She is losing all her winnings, she's angry but it's just the alcohol
She's all fucked right up, it's okay, man, she's got friends
'Cause we are here to help her sing her songs
We are here to help her sing her songs
Because tomorrow's gonna come
Tomorrow's gonna come, and no one's gonna call
This isn't Christmas, this is Chinatown and those are pretty lights
Just use some more and put 'em on your make-up dolls
A painting on the underneath that never smiles on the scene
Is just like Christmas if it was Halloween
Someone taught her it's okay to be a martyr
Like an educated angel, be a rat, you know in all the things you love,
Well okay
Priceless pictures, she's collected iceless fixtures that is freezing from the people
She's chosen out to help her through it all
Whatever
We are here to help you sing your songs
We are here to help you sing your songs
We are here to help you sing your songs
Because tomorrow's gonna come
Tomorrow's gonna come, and no one's gonna call
Masquerade, masquerade,
Grab your mask and don't be late
Get out get out well disguised
Heat and fever in the air tonight
Meet the others at the store,
Knock on other people's door
Trick or treat they have to choice,
Little ghost's are makin'lotsa noise
But watch out...beware - listen...take care
[Chorus]
In the streets on Halloween
There's something going on
No way to escape the power unknown
In the streets on Halloween
The spirits will arise
Make your choice, it's hell or paradice
Ah - It's Halloween
Ah - It's Halloween...tonight!
Someone's sitting in a field,
Never giving yield
Sittinh there with gleaminf eyes,
Wating for big pumpkin to arise
Bad luck if you get a stone,
Like the good old Charlie Brown
You think Linus could be right
The kids will sy it's just a stupid lie
But watch out...beware - listen...take care
[Chorus]
Listen now - we are calling you...
And there is magic in the air
[Solo]
[Kai]
Magic in the air... on Halloween
Black is the night full of fright
You'll be missing the day
What will be here very soon
Changing your way
A knock at your door
It is real or is it a dream
On trembling legs you open the door
And you scream...on Halloween
[Solo]
[Kai/Mike/Kai/Mike]
Darkless
Where am I now
Is there anybody out there
What has happened
Am I in heaven
Or is it hell
I can see a light comin'
It's comin' nearer
It's shining
It's shining so bright
It's shining on me
[Solo]
[Kai/Mike/Rhythm change]
[Mike/Kai/Mike/Kai]
I am the one, doom's in my hands
Now make your choice,
redeemed or enslaved
I'll show you passion and glory
He is the snake
I'll hive you power and abudance
He's the corrupter of man
Save me from the evil one
Give me strenght to carry on
I will fight for all mankind's
deliverance and peace of mind
[Harmony Solo]
[both]
But watch out...beware - listen...take care
[Chorus]
Yeah, it's Halloween
Yeah, it's Halloween...tonight
well i live with snakes and lizards
and other things that go bump in the
night cos to me everyday is halloween
i have given up hiding and started to fight
i have started to fight well any time,
any place, anywhere that i go all the
people seem to stop and stare they say
'why are you dressed like it's halloween?
you look so absurd, you look so obscene'
o, why can't i live a life for me?
why should i take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me it's
the same, it's the same in the whole wide world
well i let their teeny minds think that they're
dealing with someone who is over the brink and
i dress this way just to keep them at bay
cos halloween is everyday it's everyday o,
why can't i live a life for me?
why should i take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me it's
the same, it's the same in the whole wide world
o, why can't i live a life for me? why should i
take the abuse that's served? why can't they see
they're just like me i'm not the one that's so
absurd why hide it?
why fight it? hurt feelings best to stop feeling
hurt from denials, reprisals it's the same it's the
same in the whole wide world
Demon's wind drives souls down with vortices
In the night of Halloween devils rule has no boundaries
Waters turn into blood, bread into stone
Hungry beast looks for new sacrifice
Halloween-celebration of the dead
Halloween-celebration of the dead
Terribly fury of the ghosts-this night is assigned for them
Who not found rest and scorned treasures of paradise
Cross goes down into depths of hell
Devils spit with sulphur turns into ashes
Halloween-celebration of the dead
Demon's howl
Helloween-scorn of the cross
Celebration of the dead
Keep Black Mess cursted priests
Sacrifice is offered to honour name of Evil
Lost meaning here christians word
Halloween's night-it's devil's gift for us
Halloween-celebration of the dead
Demon's howl
Helloween-scorn of the cross
Celebration of the dead
Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn’t you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween
This is Halloween
This is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
This is Halloween
Everybody make a scene
Trick-or-treat ‘til the neighbors gonna die of fright
It’s our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween…
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
I am the one hiding under your stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
In this town, don’t we love it now
Everyone’s waiting for the next surprise
‘Round that corner
Man hiding in the trashcan
Something’s waiting now to pounce and how you’ll…
Scream!
This is Halloween
Red and black
And slimy green
Aren’t you scared?
Well that’s just fine
Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night!
Everybody scream, everybody scream!
In our town of Halloween…
I am the clown with the tear-away face!
Here in a flash and gone without a trace
I am the “who” when you call, “Who’s there?”
I am the wind blowing through your hair
I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!
Tender lumplings everywhere
Life’s no fun without a good scare
That’s our job, but we’re not mean
In our town of Halloween
In this town
Don’t we love it now
Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is Halloween
Won’t you please make way for a very special guy?
Our man Jack is king of the pumpkin patch
Everyone hail to the pumpkin king!
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
La-la-la-la-la-la (repeat until end)
Halloween, Halloween (repeat until end)
She wakes up in the graveyard
What that done have a face
This is the time for her to wake
Her body is in agony
Her soul is in pain
She looks for her beauty
Lost in vain
Halloween
Midnight queen
Searching for love where it's never have been
Halloween
Killing me
For more than hold me and tight 'till we die
She is not in to witch crowd
It's not making sense
What must he live her life again
She raise accept from the earth
And fall back again
bonfires burning bright pumpkin faces in the night i remember halloween dead cats hanging from poles little dead are out in droves i remember halloween brown leaved vertigo where skeletal life is known i remember halloween this day anything goes burning bodies hanging from poles i remember halloween halloween, halloween, halloween, halloween candy apples and razor blades little dead are soon in graves i remember halloween this day anything goes burning bodies hanging from poles i remember halloween, halloween, halloween, halloween halloween, halloween, halloween, halloween
How did we get here?
How the hell, Pan left, close on the steeple of the church
How did I get here?
How the hell, Christmas, Christmas Eve, last year
How could a night so frozen
Be so scalding hot?
How can a morning this mild
Be so raw?
Why are entire years strewn
On the cutting room floor of memories?
When single frames from one magic night
Forever flicker in close-up on the 3-D Imax of my mind
That's poetic, that's pathetic
Why did Mimi knock on Roger's door
And Collins choose that phone booth
Back where Angel set up his drums?
Why did Maureen's equipment break down?
Why am I the witness?
And when I capture it on film
(Kirsty MacColl/Mark E.Nevin)
I must have fallen on my feet
A hundred times or more
I heard the wind blow down the street
The knocking at the door
But there was no one there
Though I looked everywhere
So was it all a dream?
Oh Halloween
The spirits of the past
The costumes and the masks
The shipwrecks and the ghosts
From up and down the coast
They've all come back to see
If we were meant to be
We can't escape our dreams
Oh Halloween
You must have followed me back home
And hid behind my back
No one could find me on their own
I'm off the beaten track
Well I was scared before
But I'm afraid no more
And nothing's as it seems
Halloween
The spirits of the past
The costumes and the masks
To me they don't disguise
The presence in your eyes
They turn their heads to see
If we were meant to be
A nightmare or a dream
Oh Halloween

The yellow grass is growin' and creepy old broken trees. No one ever wants to stop by and see us on halloween. Oh take me with you I'm already there watch me dig a hole in my backyard and bury everyone there. Hey I htink I'm going to ask you all to come in and dine with me, hey I think I'm going better find yourself another cuz everybody knows we have to stay. Have you ever been stuck in a movie, have you ever played roll of your life. You know it isn't all that scary whe the movie ends they turn on the lights. Oh take me with you I'm already there Yeah Yeah Yeah
[Instrumental]
I moved in that very day
The room was small but I liked it anyway
You watched TV while I dreamed through my mind
And the pregnant girl was busy all the time
September and October passed me by
I decided to go home for a while
I got a lift with an old friend of mine
I wanted her but still she reminded me on the way
So when I got home I went to see Mum and Dad
They asked was I ok was I happy enough
And I smiled and said that I was
A few days later I decided to leave
I couldn't find anyone who could take me
The only thing I could do was take a bus
So at half six I left to get the late express
I boarded the bus with the clean washing over my back
I said I sat with a girl dressed in black
We talked and smiled most of the way
Till the jealous boyfriend angrily led her away
Then when I reached the house there was a party on inside
My friend came to the door took my bags from my hands
And welcomed me in from the night
As I was walking through the happy house on halloween night
My friends were all around and my heart was glad and my life felt actually
Hello?
Remember me?
Who's there?
I've got your number
Oh no, no
I'm back to haunt you
No, stay away
Ha ha ha ha ha
It's Friday night
So creepy outside
It's is thundering and lightning
There's nobody home
Cause I'm all alone
It's scary and it's frightening
The sound of shoes
A shadow that moves
Something odd is tic tac ticking
Someone's in here
I'm so full of fear
The telephone is ringing
Now I can see you
Oh no, please no
Now I can touch you
Oh god, please go
I am right here now
Oh please, tell me where
Ha ha ha ha
I'm in a nightmare
You better run
I'm back to haunt you down
Halloween, in the death of the night, hear me scream
I'm coming, I'm coming
Halloween, is the fear that I fight, in my dream
Keep running, keep running
Just keep running - oh, keep on running, yeah
Just keep running
Just keep running - oh, keep on running, yeah
Just keep running
Hell broke out
On this Friday night
Zombies passing deadly
My Candyman, from Bountyland
Is coming here to get me
Now I can see you
Oh no, please no
Now I can touch you
Oh god, please go
I am right here now
Oh please tell me where
Ha ha ha ha
I'm in a nightmare
You better run
I'm back to haunt you down
Halloween, in the death of the night, hear me scream
I'm coming, I'm coming
Halloween, is the fear that I fight, in my dream
Keep running, keep running
Just keep running - oh keep on running, yeah
Just keep running
Just keep running - oh keep on running, yeah
Just keep running
It's squeaking and creaking
I move silent in the night, hahahahaha
Could be the boy from next-door
You'll never guess my disguise
Hahahahaha!
Kids and children fight
Pumpkin and candlelight
You might be the fearsome one at Junior High
Tonight!
Halloween, in the death of the night, hear me scream
I'm coming, I'm coming
Halloween, is the fear that I fight, in my dream
Keep running, keep running
Halloween...
Just keep running - oh, keep on running, yeah
Just keep running
Just keep running - oh, keep on running, yeah
Just keep running
Masquerade, masquerade
Grab your mask and don't be late
Get out, get out well disguised
Heat and fever in the air tonight
Meet the others at the store

Trick or treat, they have the choice
Little ghosts are makin' lots of noise
But watch out, beware
Listen, take care
In the streets on Halloween
There's something going on

In the streets on Halloween
The spirits will arise
Make your choice, it's hell or paradise
Ah, it's Halloween
Ah, it's Halloween, tonight
Someone's sitting in a field
Never giving yield
Sitting there with gleaming eyes
Waiting for big pumpkin to arise
Bad luck if you get a stone
Like the good old Charlie Brown
You think Linus could be right
The kids will say it's just a stupid lie
But watch out, beware
Listen and take care
In the streets on Halloween
There's something going on
No way to escape the power unknown

Make your choice, it's hell or paradise
Ah, it's Halloween
Ah, it's Halloween, tonight
Listen now, we are calling you
Listen now, we are calling you
Listen now, we are calling you
Listen now, we are calling you
And there is magic in the air
Magic in the air, magic in the air
Magic in the air on Halloween
Black is the night full of fright
You'll be missing the day
What will be here very soon
Changing your way
Knock at your door
Is it real or is it a dream?
On trembling legs you open the door
And you scream on Halloween
On Halloween
Darkness, where am I now?
Is there anybody out there?
What has happened?
Am I in heaven or is it hell?
I can see a light comin'
It's comin' nearer
It's shining, it's shining so bright
It's shining on me
I am the one
Dooms in my hands
Now make your choice
Redeemed or enslaved
I'll show you passion and glory
He is the snake
I'll give you power and abundance
He's the corrupter of man
Save me from the evil one
Give me strength to carry on
I will fight for all mankind
Deliverance and peace of mind
But watch out, beware
Listen, take care
In the streets on Halloween
There's something going on
No way to escape the power unknown
In the streets on Halloween
The spirits will arise
Make your choice, it's hell or paradise
Oh, it's Halloween
Oh, it's Halloween
Oh, it's Halloween
Oh, it's Halloween
Yeah, it's Halloween
Yeah, it's Halloween
Yeah, it's Halloween
Bonfires burning bright,
Pumpkin faces in the night,
I remember halloween.
Dead cats hanging from poles,
Little dead are out in droves,
I remember halloween brown leaved vertigo,
Where skeletal life is known,
I remember halloween this day anything goes.
Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember halloween,
Halloween, halloween, halloween, halloween.
Candy apples and razorblades,
Little dead are soon in graves,
I remember halloween this day anything goes,
Burning bodies hanging from poles,
I remember halloween, halloween, halloween,
Bonfires burning bright
Pumpkin faces in the night
I remember halloween
Dead Cats hanging from poles
Little Dead are out in droves
I remember Halloween
Brown Leafed Vertigo
Where skeletal life is known
I remember Halloween
This day anything goes
Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember Halloween
Halloweeeeen
Halloweeeeen

Candy apples and razor blades
Little dead are soon in graves
I remember Halloween
This day anything goes
Burning bodies hanging from poles

There's something shifting in the distance
don't know what it is
day's as dead as nights [?]
except for the feeling that's
crawling up inside of me as you
sing your song as you
swing along and you're
it's your, your song
it's the devil in me
makes me stare at you as you
twist up along you
sing your song and you
slipping up to me and you're
so close i just a
wanna touch you and i
sing your song and you
dont know what's going on but you
wanna me to come along as you
sing your song and you're
fucking with me as you
slither up to me
your lips there
slipping twisting at my
insides and singing on
you're just a
swinging man, it's not your
swinging song and now i
don't know what you want but
you're looking at me and you're
falling to the ground and you're
twisting around fucking with my
my mind and i don't know what
's going onswinging in your song
twisting me on as you
slither up to me and it's gotta be
and i don't know what you wanna do
and you're looking at me with your big dark eyes
and you're rubbing your body
twisting
The night is still
and the frost it bites my face
I wear my silence like a mask
and murmur like a ghost
";Trick or Treat";
";Trick or Treat";
The bitter and the sweet
The carefree days
are distant now
I wear my memories like a shroud
I try to speak but words collapse
Echoing
";Trick or Treat";
";Trick or Treat";
The bitter and the sweet
I wander though your sadness
gazing at you with scorpion eyes
Halloween......Halloween A sweet reminder
in the ice-blue nursery
of a childish murder
of hidden lustre
and she cries
";Trick or Treat";
";Trick or Treat";
The bitter and the sweet
I wander through your sadness
gazing at you with scorpion eyes
Halloween......Halloween
Hey You, you lost your only friend
You can't believe you're broken heart will ever mend
But every mountain has its faces that'd make you want to stop
On this so unwelcome journey from the bottom to the top.
Move along
I believe there's Something Beautiful to see
Move along
I believe there's Something Beautiful
Just waiting for you and me
I know you'll never count the tears you've cried
Though you've asked a million questions
No one could tell you why
A single soul is chosen to be the one put to the test
But there will be some consolation for a heart that never rests
The years will make us older
The winters make us colder
And there's one more thing I've come to know for sure
There's no bitterness that smolders, no chip on any shoulder
That a random act of kindness couldn't cure
Hey You, you lost your only friend
You can't believe you're broken heart will ever mend
But every mountain has its faces that'd make you want to stop
On this so neverending journey from the bottom to the top.
So it's Halloween
And you feel like dancin'
And you feel like shinin'
And you feel like letting loose
Whatcha gonna be
Babe, you better know
And you better plan
Better plan all day
Better plan all week
Better plan all month
Better plan all year
You're dressed up like a clown
Putting on your act
It's the only time all year
You'll ever admit that
I can see your eyes
I can see your brain
Baby, nothing's changed
You're still hiding in a mask
You take your fun seriously
No, don't blow this year's chance
Tomorrow your mold goes back on
After Halloween
You go to work today
You'll go to work tomorrow
Shitfaced tonight
You'll brag about it for months
Remember what I did
Remember what I was
Back on Halloween
But what's in between
Where are your ideas
You sit around and dream
For next Halloween
Why not everyday
Are you so afraid
What will people say
After Halloween
Because your role is planned for you
There's nothing you can do
But stop and think it through
But what will the boss say to you
And what will your girlfriend say to you
And the people out on the street they might glare at you
And whadya know you're pretty self-conscious too
So you run back and stuff yourselves in rigid business costumes
Only at night to score is your leather uniform exhumed
Why don't you take your social regulations
Oh, Captain of my industry
Oh, cigarettes and company
I'm never where I want to be:
The dirty, dirty ground
Oh, Halloween! The blood you drew
You carved a space to climb into
And like a lantern, like a pyre
I burn, I burn with holy fire
I talk when I don't have to
And I hope it doesn't matter
'Cause we know what we know
And I don't know how you do it
But I change and you see to it
That we ain't got no show
And all I could see in the ink of the dark
Was your cigarette, breathing like beating heart
I fold mine in, like origami
It might look pretty, but you do not know me
I talk when I don't have to
And I hope it doesn't matter
'Cause we know what we know
And I don't know how you do it
But I change and you see to it
That we ain't got no show
Oh, Halloween! Oh, jealous star
Are you who you say you are?
I thought you would have found me out by now
Oh, Halloween! The blood you drew
You carved a space to climb into
I don't know what I should have seen
Oh, not since Halloween
Oh, not since Halloween
No, not since Halloween
No, not since Halloween
Halloween
Hey little dreamer's eyes open and staring up at me
Oh little lonely eyes open and radiant
Wait until I come and I will steal you
Wait until I come I'll take your soul
Wait until I come and I will steal you
Wait until I come and I won't go
Darlin' dreamin in the night
Shadows on the windows
Lead oh and everyone go
Well leave me on the night
I will give you lightning
I will not relinquish light
Oh little dreamer eyes open and raving here
Wait until I come and see you little girl
When we come I'll leave with you too
When we come I'll let you come low
Hey we'll leave it all behind
Oh and then the nightmares
I'll fill them in good time
Oh they will seat your mind
When the light hits
And you maybe'll ask me
Why do you run around here
Why do you come inside of me
Why does it rip me out in dream
Why then why then watch this little fuck
Going away
Why this lonely
Why this lonely
Why this lonely love
Why this lonely
Why this lonely
Why this lonely love
Halloween
Carry on
Bury all
Bury all
Bury all
Bury all
Bury all
And let this dream
Tell us are you satisfied with fucking
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
I'm talking to you
Love is hell
Love is hell
Love is hell
Love this I'll tame you
Love
Love
Love
Love this not me here
Love

Take my eyes from me, so I will see in spirit
Change my mind to think, on what you see fit
The heavens declare your glory, but does my witness
May you be glorified in me, Lord may I be blameless
Chorus
Halloween
I am available to do your will,
in my life I pray Your word is fulfilled,
they're singing honor to you
Oh Lord my God,
Power and strength to you Oh Christ Jesus
Chorus
When I was poor you had made me a rich man
What I was sick you had made me a healed man
When I was weak you had made me strong
(b-sides & outtakes from mighty joe moon 1994)
They had a crush on you river
Blue suede jacket and boots river
And your face shaped like a moon river
You were like my own james byron dean
Private idaho was my east of eden
Hit me like a stone when I heard you passed
On halloween
You were only 23 river
And restless as the sea river
How did we get here?
How the hell..pan left--close on the steeple of the
church. How did I get here, how the hell?
Christmas! Christmas eve, last year. I could a night so
frozen be so scalding hot? How can a morning
this mild be so raw? Why are entire years strewn on the
cutting room floor of memory as single frames
of one magic night forever flicker in close up on the 3-D
Imax of my mind. Thats poetic- thats
pathetic. Why did Mimi knock on Roger's door? and Collins
choose that phone booth back where Angel
set up his drums. Why did Maureen's equiptment break
down? Why am I the witness and when I capture it
I've decided I'm done. Don't care to move on.
Not used to losing someone. If I lost faith, was no choice I made.
I'll accept the excuse of no one.
Your careful silence can't replace, your stupid smile.
Casseroles and Handshakes, can't restore 12 damn years of ours.
You stole me.
I don't dare to try again. They said, "Time will heal, and time will mend,"
And on Halloween, the last time you left
If I knew, you were never coming back,
I would have, Held on to that last day, instead of, "Here's your keys,"
the last thing I'd say would be "I love you."
and just in case,
"I'm only myself when I'm with you baby."
I'll be with you someday
Take down my mirror, my pictures of costumes, and youth.
Throw aside posters, and books, and aged fortunes, and all that reminds me of you.
With a pat on the back they say, "Honey, it's time to move on. I'm sure we can find you a hobby, now that he's gone."
They stole you.
I don't dare to try again. They said, "Time will heal, and time will mend,"
And on Halloween, the last time you left
If I knew, you were never coming back,
I would have, Held on to that last day, instead of, "Here's your keys,"
the last thing I'd say would be "I love you."
and just in case,
"I'm only myself when I'm with you baby."
They don't understand. We were like this since the first time we met.
We were born holding hands.
Give me flowers and cards, I'll smile all they want,
If they give me what I want.
Give me what I want.
I don't dare to try again. They said, "Time will heal, and time will mend,"
And on Halloween, the last time you left
If I knew, you were never coming back,
I would have, Held on to that last day, instead of, "Here's your keys,"
the last thing I'd say would be "I love you."
and just in case,
"I'm only myself when I'm with you baby."
Thinking of all the cool creatures that I will meet on this night
Ghosts and goblins and witches roaming the streets in moonlight
Bowls of candy and goodies, delicious and waiting in store
The sound of cute little footsteps as they approach my front door
Letting the children inside to drink beers
Razor blades hidden in three musketeers
Screams from the basement of kids begging to be set free
That's what Halloween means to me
Tightening the clamps that are holding their little heads so tight
Putting my lips to their ears as I whisper please don't fight
I promise I'll let you go home if you swear not to tell a soul
Well I'll just untie these I'm kidding now where is my chainsaw? Let's rock and roll
A pinch of your brother a teaspoon of you
With the head of your sister would make a good stew
I'd give you a taste but you're tongue's in the stew; irony
That's what Halloween means to me
Trick-or-treat, smell my feet
Give me something good to eat
Trick-or-treat, smell my feet
The night is still
And the frost it bites my face
I wear my silence like a mask
And murmur like a ghost
"Trick or Treat"
"Trick or Treat"
The bitter and the sweet
The carefree days
Are distant now
I wear my memories like a shroud
I try but words collapse
Echoing
"Trick or Treat"
"Trick or Treat"
The bitter and the sweet
I wander through your sadness
Gazing at you with scorpion eyes
Halloween ... Halloween
A sweet reminder
In the ice-blue nursery
Of a childish murder
Of hidden lustre
And she cries
"Trick or Treat"
"Trick or Treat"
The bitter and the sweet
I wander through your sadness
Gazing at you with scorpion eyes
(Graves)
1ST VERSE:
(vocal:Rob Graves)
Night has fallen, the wind begins to blow...
Children at play in the streets, the ones you know...
Clouds fill the sky, the leaves are falling down...
A cauldron of black spills a spell onto your town...
1ST CHORUS:
(backing vocal:J.D.Shadowz)
Tonight is halloween, your heart turns to stone...
Theres death on halloween, spells of death will be sown...
You'll die on halloween, on the sacrificial mound...
Tonight is halloween, where remains will be found...
2ND VERSE:
Descending down like you knew they would...
Bringing death to your neighborhood...
Children dance unsuspectingly...
Their blood will spill on this sacred eve...
REPEAT CHORUS:
3RD VERSE:
Slaughtered lambs on the ground, they bleed...
Eating flesh is their only need...
You want to wake from this dream of hell...
This is no dream, you know damn well...
REPEAT CHORUS:

REPEAT CHORUS:
MARK
How did we get here?
How the hell. . .
Pan left - close on the steeple of the church
How did I get here?
How the hell. . .
Christmas
Christmas Eve - last year
How could a night so frozen
Be so scolding hot?
How can a morning this mild
Be so raw?
Why are entire years strewn
On the cutting room floor of memory
When single frames from one magic night
Forever flicker in close-up
On the 3D Imax of my mind
That's poetic
That's pathetic
Why did Mimi knock on Roger's door
And Collins choose that phone booth
Back where Angel set up his drums
Why did Maureen's equipment break down
Why am I the witness
And when I capture it on film
Will it mean that it's the end
There's something shifting in the distance
Don't know what it is
Day as dead as night
Except for the feeling
That's crawling up inside of me
As you sing your song
As you swing along, and you
It's your, your song
Devil in me who makes me stare at you
As you twist up along, sing your song
And you're slithering up to me
You're so close
I just
Just want to touch and sing your song
And you don't know what's going on
But you want me to come
You want me to come
You want me to come
You want me to come
Along
As you sing your, your song
And you're fucking me
Yeah, you're fucking with me
You're fucking with me
As you slither up, slither up to me
Your lips are slipping, twisting up my insides
Sing along and just a swinging man
Singing your song
Now I don't know what you want
But you're looking at me
And you're falling on the ground
And you're twisting around
Fucking with my, my mind
And I don't know what's going on
Swing your song, twist it along
As you slither up to me, and it's got to be
And I don't know what you want to do
Looking at me with your big dark eyes
And you're rubbing your body
Twist
Twist
Halloween
Halloween
Halloween
Halloween
Halloween
Halloween
Featuring Andrew Tracey
Trick or treat me
Your love is easy
Got Me thinking
That you are measly
Too damn scary for this day
Devil's holiday is on it's way
Halloween Day is for my day
Disturbing is my thing for anyway
You'll be scared
This ain't a test they love me but I'm still
The best
The girls go crazy and the parents are lazy
To get up to see what's going on
Bat things are gonna happen
But we ain't laughing
Then a secret plot rings the phone
So this october
Not the best day to think of having fun anyway
He'll get you to kill you life to make a chill
So get calmed before it's the real deal
Halloween is for my day
Disturbing is my ting for anyways
You'll be scared
This aint a test they love me but I'm still the best
He'll get you every night
And make's wrongs to rights but make you cry forever he'll make u be dead forever no
Screaming!
Do you hear that sound
Beneath the rustling autumn leaves?
You can't hear the word,
But you know just what they mean.
You've gotta tap your toes against the ground,
So all the bones can hear the sound,
To let them know below that you believe.
When you hear those spirits calling,
There ain't no use to fight.
We'll trade faces with the shadows
And change voices with the night.
Do you feal that glow behind the rottingwillow tree?
Something in there knows muchmore than you can see.
It says there's a task ahead of you,
So dawn the mask and down the brew,
And peer into the sphere of history.
When you hear those spirits calling,
There ain't no use to fight.
We'll trade faces with the shadows
And change voices with the night.
Icklemuck puddlewuck, ting ling zsu.
Chulatat psilophat, mug wump chu.
Icklemuck puddlewuck, ting ling zsu.
Chulatat psilophat, mug wump chu.
Icklemuck puddlewuck, ting ling zsu.
Chulatat psilophat, mug wump chu.
Icklemuck puddlewuck, ting ling zsu.
Chulatat psilophat, mug wump chu.
When the church bell sounds
And the sky drips down, ain't nothing is a sin.
So we'll taste the ground while we dance around
Underneath each other's skin.
When the raven calls your name
And the barn owl starts her flight,
We'll trade faces with the shadows
And change voices with the night.
When you hear those spirits calling,
There ain't no wrong or right.
We'll trade faces with the shadows
One thing I do like of being down there with the old
people is that it makes me feel like I'm little again,
like a little kid. And when you're a kid, you can eat
amazing amounts of food. And all just candy, that's all
I ate when I was a kid. The only thought I had, growing
up, was "get... candy". That was my only thought, in my
brain, for the 10 years of human life. Just get candy,
get candy, get candy, get candy, get candy, get candy.
Family, friends, school, these were just obstacles in
the way of getting more candy. That's why you had to
teach kids not to take candy from strangers, if they're
playing in a playground. And they can barely understand
"Don't..."
"No candy ?... From... strangers ? Alright. Candy,
strangers, no candy. Alright, because otherwise I'm
taking the candy, anywhere I can get it".
There's such candy moron, idiot brains, "if this man
has candy I'm going with him, goodbye, don't care what
happens to me. Get candy, get candy, get candy".
"No, don't go, they'll torture you, they'll kidnap you
"It doesn't matter, he has an 'Oh Henry', I have to
take that chance. Get candy, get candy, get candy".
So the first time you hear the concept of Halloween,
when you're a kid, remember the first time you even
heard about it, it's like... your brain can't even...
"what is this ?! Who's giving out candy, someone's
giving out candy ?! Who is giving out this candy ?!
Everyone that we know is just giving out candy ?!!! I
gotta be a part of this, take me with you, I wanna do
it, I'll do anything that they want...!
I can wear that ! I'll wear anything that I have to
wear. I'll do anything I have to do. I will get the
candy from these fools ! That are so stupidly giving it
away".
So the first couple of years I made my own costume.
They of course, sucked. Ghost, hobo, no good. So I'm
begging the parents "you gotta get me one of the ones
from the store, the cardboard box, the cellophane top.
So one year, third year, finally got a Superman
costume... not surprisingly. "Mask included in the set
!". Remember the rubber band, on the back of that mask,
that was a quality item there, wasn't it ? That was
good for about 10 seconds, before it snapped out of
that cheap little staple they put it in there with. The
thinnest grey rubber in the world. You go to your first
house "trick or -snap- it broke, I don't believe it".
"Wait up, I gotta fix it, you guys. Come on. Wait up".
That's a kid thing, "wait up". Kids don't want other
kids to wait, they must "wait up". "Would you wait up
?". Because when you're little, life is up, you're
growing up, everything is up. "Wait up, hold up, shut
up !". "Ma, I'm all cleaned up !". "Let me stay up !".
Parents, of course, it's just the opposite, "just calm
down !". "Slow down !". "Come down here, sit down, put
that down !". "You are grounded !". "Keep it down in
there !".
So I had my Superman Halloween costume, I was
physically ready, I was mentally prepared. And I
assumed, when I put this costume on, I would probably
look exactly like the Superman I had come to know on
television and in the movies.
Now you remember these costumes, it's not exactly the
super-fit !... That you are hoping for ! You look more
like you're wearing Superman's pajamas, it's what you
look like. It's all loose, and flowing... neck line
kinda comes down to about there... (laughs) and you got
that flimsy little ribbon string holding it together in
the back... of course my mother makes me wear my winter
coat over the costume anyway...!
"I don't recall Superman wearing a jacket".
So you're going out there, you know, and the mask keeps
breaking, so the rubber band keeps getting shorter, and
keeps making it tighter and tighter on your face... you
can't even see... you're trying to breathe through
that, remember that little hole, it gets all sweaty in
there (imitates very deep breath) .... .... .... And
the mask starts slicing into your eyeballs, "I can't
see, I can't breathe, but you gotta get the candy,
let's keep going !".
About a half-hour into it, you take that mask, "oh, the
hell with it !". (imitates doorbell) "Bing Bong", "It's
me, gimme the candy !". "I'm Superman, look at the pant
legs, whatta hell is the difference !"
Remember those last few Halloweens, getting a little
too old for it. Just kind of going through the motions.
"Bing Bong", "come on lady, let's go. Halloween,
doorbells, candy, let's pick up the pace in there".
They come at the door, they always ask you those same
stupid questions:
"What are you supposed to be ?"
"I'm supposed to be done by now, you wanna move it
along, the Three Musketeers... ? I got 18 houses on
this block alone. You just hit the bag, we hit the
road, that's the routine, let's just pick it up".
Sometimes they gave you that little white bag, twisted
on the top, you know that's gonna be some crap candy.
It's gotta have those official Halloween markings on
it. "Hold it lady, wait a second, what is this, the
orange marshmallow shaped like a big peanut ? Do me a
favour, you keep that one. Yeah, we got all the door-
stops we need already, thank you very much. We're going
for name candy only, this year".
And I think about how I used to eat, when I was a kid.
I remember Halloween I would get, you know, I would
have like a punch-bowl, and I would fill it with candy.
The top of it would be curved, that's how much candy. I
would consume that entire punch-bowl, that night ! Next
Dark mountains, thunder and rain
The lightning burns down the sky
Wild creatures howling out in the night
The fire's burning, hell has opened its gates
Satan meets all his wifes
They come from everywhere to see him tonight
Dance for him carefree and wild
Black terror, an evil's triumph
Human's meat torn from bones
Warm blood, that's what they're looking for
It is the night of the Underworld
Satan takes his tribute
The demons roll, chaos rules all tonight
For this there's no substitute
Hide your head, oh you better watch out
Aware of danger, don't laugh about
Steal away, there's no more less time
You're struck down in a bestial crime
Halloween - the earth will start burning
Halloween - there ain't no returning
Halloween - the witch dances on fire
Halloween - the flames high and higher
Dark mountains, thunder and rain
The lightning burns down the sky
Wild creatures howling out in the night
The fire's burning, hell has opened its gates
Satan meets all his wifes
They come from everywhere to see him tonight
Dance for him carefree and wild
Hide your head, oh you better watch out
Aware of danger, don't laugh about
Steal away, there's no more less time
You're struck down in a bestial crime
Halloween - the earth will start burning
Halloween - there ain't no returning
Halloween - the witch dances on fire
Do you believe that people can dream about what's going
to happen ?
Do you believe in the boogieman?
Then you don't mind colcocking this guy when i bring him
What?
You heard me....
I grab the guy in my dream
You see me struggle so you wake me up!
We both come out,
You wack the fucker and we got hem!
Are you crazy, hit him with what ?
You are the jock,
You've got a baseball bat or something
Just meet me at my porch at midnight...
Ow and meanwhile
Meanwhile?
Masquerade, masquerade
Grab your mask and don't be late
Get out, get out
Well disguised heat and fever in the air tonight
Meet the others at the store,
Knock on other people's door
Trick or treat they have the choice,
Little ghosts are makin' lotsa noise
But watch out...
Beware
Listen...
Take care
In the streets on Halloween there's something going on
No way to escape the power unknown
In the streets on Halloween the spirits will arise
Make your choice it's Hell or Paradise
Ah - It's Halloween
Ah - It's Halloween... tonight!
Someone's sittin in a field,
Never giving yield
Sitting there with gleaming eyes,
Waiting for a big pumpkin to arise
Bad luck if you get a stone,
Like the good old Charlie Brown
You think Linus could be right
The kids will say it's just a stupid lie
But watch out...
Beware
Listen...
Take care
In the streets on Halloween there's something going on
No way to escape the power unknown
In the streets on Halloween the spirits will arise
Make your choice it's Hell or Paradise
Ah - It's Halloween
Ah - It's Halloween... tonight!
Listen, now
We are calling you...
And there's magic in the air
Magic in the air... on Halloween
Black is the night full of fright
You'll be missing the day
What will be here very soon
Changing your way
A knock on your door
Is it real or is it a dream
On trembling legs you open the door
And you scream... on Halloween
Darkness
Where am I now
Is there anybody out there
What has happened
Am I in Heaven
Or is it Hell
I can see a light comin'
It's comin' nearer
It's shining
It's shining so bright
It's shining on me
I am the one
Doom's in my hands
Now make your choice
Redeemed or enslaved
"I'll show you passion and glory"
He is the snake
"I'll give you power and abundance"
He's the corrupter of man
Save me fron the Evil One
Give me strenght to carry on
I will fight for all mankind
Deliverance and peace of mind
But watch out...
Beware
Listen...
Take care
In the streets on Halloween there's something going on
No way to escape the power unknown
In the streets on Halloween the spirits will arise
Make your choice it's Hell or Paradise
Yeah, it's Halloween
The sun is setting in the west
The shadows are growing tall
A bad moon's on the rise tonight
The children of the night call
Tonight the graves are opening up
The strangest sights are seen
Keep all doors and windows locked
This night of Halloween
I sneak into your dreams at night
My voice enthralls your mind
You cannot fight my cold deep eyes
Or the evil that lurks behind
The twilight mist dims your view
It's all like in a dream
Revelations of doom appears
This night of Halloween
Souls that were unclean
Lives that should have never been
Come to life on Halloween
Bonfires burning bright
Pumpkin faces in the night
I remember Halloween
Dead cats hanging from poles
Little dead are out in droves
I remember Halloween
Brown leafed vertigo
Where skeletal life is known
I remember Halloween
This day anything goes
Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember Halloween
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
Candy apples and razor blades
Little dead are soon in graves
I remember Halloween
This day anything goes
Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
I'm sorry, he brought us there,
me crying in my underwear
On the morning, of halloween
like a story out of people magazine
i drove home, and fell asleep alone
i'm sorry, for crying, dont feel bad
you didnt do that
black and blues, and yellows too
fade the stain
as embers do
wake up tommrow, and feel new,
the story, that we wont share
were all goin to hide it well away somewhere,
a warning for family
the kind a person give about anatomy
now, well known,
lets never sleep alone
i'm sorry, for crying, dont feel bad
you didnt do that
i'm sorry were crying, dont feel bad
because we didnt do that
black and blues, and yellows too
fade the stain
as embers do
wake up tommrow, and feel new.
black and blues, and yellows too
fade the stain
as embers do
lets wake up tommrow, and feel new.
black and blues, and yellows too
fade the stain
as embers do
