lyrics

Halloween,
And we’re all getting dressed up
In face paints and fake blood
And hanging like bats from the trees.

Watch it burn,
Freedom looks like a boy in a skirt.
But they ended up chasing,
Pushed him to the railings,
And forced him to stare at the sun.

Intertwine,
My hands 'round your neck,
It’s warm and it’s wet,
And it drips to the floor from your eyes.

Like the ghosts in the park,
Who look like my friends,
Newlyweds too in love,
To check under the bed,
And I want you to panic,
'Cause I've seen what's ahead.

Straightened teeth,
Perfect smiles stained with nicotine.
And you dance with a girl,
'Cause she likes the same music,
But you’re never quite sure what she needs.

Like the ghosts in the park,
Who look like my friends,
Newlyweds too in love,
To check under the bed,
And I want you to panic,
'Cause I've seen what's ahead.

Like the ghosts in the park,
Who looked like my friends,
Newlyweds too in love,
To check under the bed,
And I want you to panic,
Oh, I want you to panic,
I want you to panic,
'Cause they’re stirring again.
