On the last day of October
When the air is turning cold
Strange things happen in our neighborhood
Young people turn into old
Old folks turn into goblins
Boys and girls turn into bums
We just turned into your driveway
Halloween, here we come
Chorus:
Just one night, I'm no one you'll recognize
Just one night, I'm no one you'll know
Just one night, I'm allowed to fantasize
Halloween, here we go!
Everyone tries to be scary
Nobody tries to be scared
Everybody's fixin' to do a little trickin'
And nobody's gonna be spared
There's apple bobbin' down in the basement
Candy and there's treats at the door
Where the dead meet the living
and the taking meets the giving
Nothing is the same anymore
Chorus
On Halloween everything's possible
On Halloween the false is true
On Halloween it's always a scream
To see what ordinary people might do
Tonight the world's turned upside down
Nothing's like it was in the light
I crawl, I cry, I swoop, I fly
And I gotta do it all tonight.
