It's Halloween

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Knock twice on the door

I know you heard the rumor

Every candle in this house leans toward the door

Sweet talk gets you nowhere

Salt lines on the stair

Something in the cellar hums a little tune

Pre-Chorus

You say you don't believe

Say it to my face

Say it while the mirrors all turn the other way

Chorus

It's Halloween honey

Come and meet the family

It's Halloween darling

We've been waiting all year

It's Halloween sugar

Mind your manners carefully

It's Halloween baby

You can stay forever here

Post-Chorus

(Stay stay stay)

(Stay stay stay)

Verse 2

Candy in your pocket

Wrapped in cellophane

Something's tapping at the window calling out your name

I carved a grin for strangers

Set it on the porch

Now it watches every car that turns down our road

Pre-Chorus

You laugh and call it fun

Laugh until it's done

Laugh until your shadow starts to walk alone

Chorus

It's Halloween honey

Come and meet the family

It's Halloween darling

We've been waiting all year

It's Halloween sugar

Mind your manners carefully

It's Halloween baby

You can stay forever here

Post-Chorus

(Stay stay stay)

(Stay stay stay)

Bridge

Candle lit

Candle blown

Count the kids

Count them slow

One for you

One for me

One that no one ever sees

Breakdown

One that no one ever sees

Final Chorus

It's Halloween honey

Come and meet the family

It's Halloween darling

We've been waiting all year

It's Halloween sugar

Mind your manners carefully

It's Halloween baby

You can stay forever here

Post-Chorus

(Stay stay stay)

(Stay stay stay)

(Stay stay stay)

(Stay stay stay)
