Hallowe'en
Only days before Hallowe'en
And I need you with no costume
And needing is tricky
When you're not used to treats
I drove past all the accidents
Drove past all the road kill
Drove past the army camps
The aisles of petfood, with my mega shopping cart
Baby, we don't even wait til it gets dark
What's wild, and wilder still
Got Jacko lanterns grinning on the windowsill
What's wild, and wilder still
Fairies have been killed
What's wild is the cowboys live in cities
Indians are dead
The House is haunted
Baby, we don't have to pretend
Got a ghost in the cupboard, a priest in the closet
Cinderella's still stuck with her broom
Superheroes get all the press these days
Saints just get the blues
I'm dressed up as a nice Somebody
I crave the warmth of your body
I want you here beside me more
Than I want peace and equality
Oh, the witch of the West hasn't saved me
What's wild, and wilder still
Got Jacko lanterns grinning on the windowsill
What's wild and wilder still
Fairies have been killed
What's wild is the cowboys live in cities
Indians are dead
The House is haunted
Baby, we don't have to pretend
Hallowe'en, I wish Hallowe'en would end
Hallowe'en, I wish the saints would come back from the dead
Hallowe'en, I wish the saints would come back
For good
