about

Written for and featured on www.takeitwithyou.org -- a friend's live studio podcast show up in Duluth, MN for their special Halloween edition.

lyrics

It’s a gross miscalculation to say that I’m insane
And I’m not superstitious ‘bout a broken window pane
So I’ll hold my breath ’til ten, we’ll do it all again, it’s Halloween

While the bloody pendulum swings, i don’t know up from down
It’s the wildest of dreams now that you are back in town
So I’ll hold my breath ’til ten, we’ll do it all again, it’s Halloween

Oh the Ghosts of Canterbury and the Hounds of Baskerville
Ain’t got nothin’ on you honey, when you move in for the kill

While the wind is wildly howling, in the night the spirits prowling
Halloween…it’s Halloween

Out of nowhere phantoms leering, through the mist their faces peering
Halloween…it’s Halloween

From my bed I’m fearful-leaping, from the shadows ghouls are creeping
Halloween…it’s Halloween

So child be wary while you’re sleeping, undead souls are grimly reaping
Halloween…it’s Halloween

What’s floating in your drink, dear, is that an olive or an eye?
Is it queer to think this way, dear, should I laugh or should I cry?

Though it started innocently, came upon me rather gently
You could say that I’ve gone quite insane
And despite all my best wishes, from now on I’m superstitious
Black cats, ladders, runnin’ round my brain

So I’ll hold my breath ’til ten, we’ll do it all again, it’s Halloween
Yes I’ll hold my breath ’til ten, we’ll do it all again, it’s Halloween
It’s Halloween…it’s Halloween
