Devil’s Night Pace

(shhhh) (he is coming...)

The shadows stretch across the concrete street A heavy chill in the

October heat The leaves are scraping like a hollow claw He's stepping

out to break the natural law No mask or costume on his

burning face He walks a slow and calculated pace (uh-huh)

When the jack-o'-lanterns start to fade He's stepping out of the eternal

shade The fire rises as the clock strikes ten

The devil's walking on the earth again (watch out now) He's trading

matches for a neon spark Blending right in with the crowded dark

They think it's makeup,

think it's all play

But he's collecting what they threw away A sulfur scent beneath the

candy sweet The coldest footsteps on a crowded street

(run, run, run)

When the jack-o'-lanterns start to fade He's stepping out of the eternal

shade The fire rises as the clock strikes ten

The devil's walking on the earth again (watch out now)

As the embers turn to ash (he's gone) (hahaha...)
