Lyrics
I CUT YOU UP
REACH MY HAND INSIDE
SPILL YOUR GUTS
GOUGE YOUR PRECIOUS EYES
THEN LIGHT YOU UP
SO EVERYONE CAN SEE
I PUT YOU OUT
LEAVE YOU ON THE STREET
I HEAR THEM SHOUT
IN SEARCH OF TRICK OR TREATS
WITHOUT A DOUBT
THIS IS HALLOWEEN
JACK-O-LANTERN
MAY THE FLICKER OF YOUR FLAME
BE THE KEEPER OF MY SOUL THIS HALLOWEEN
NOVEMBER'S HERE
AND IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO LEAVE
ALL YOUR FEAR
HAS LEFT US ALL BEREAVED
UNTIL NEXT YEAR
I WAIT FOR HALLOWEEN
