Halloween

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
