Tick of the clock,
the autumn chill sets in (shhh)
They locked the iron gate,
but we're already within
Black coat dragging on the wet pavement stones Carving out a rhythm
that rattles through your bones Jack-o'-lantern grinning with a flicker in his
teeth
Walking through the cemetery,
something underneath
Cold hands, heavy boots,
walking through the fog Got the block howling like an overgrown hound
dog
(woof) No sweet treats when we roll past nine Every house hollow
on the borderline
Footsteps creeping up behind your back Candle in the window fading down
to black (who is that?) Turn around fast,
nobody's in sight
Now welcome to the realest night
Mask on, hood up,
stomping through the yard
Ghost town creeping,
acting real hard (uh-huh) Cobwebs hanging,
the reaper on the clock
Every single ghoul coming bouncing down the block
Mask on, hood up,
stomping through the yard
Yeah you came to play,
but the phantom plays hard (yeah!)
Pale moonlight hitting on the chrome blade trim
Trees bent over and the lantern grows dim
Skeleton crew stepping clean in the mist
Never seen a poltergeist move quite like this Got the tombstone rocking
like a booming kick drum Underneath the floorboards hearing that hum (hummmm)
Keep your porch light on,
won't save you today We take the whole season then we vanish
away
October thirty-first, the graveyard shift Watch the dry leaves scatter in the
icy draft (brrr) Nobody running,
nobody screams Just heavy heavy bass shaking all your dreams
Mask on, hood up,
stomping through the yard
Ghost town creeping,
acting real hard (let's go!) Cobwebs hanging,
the reaper on the clock
Every single ghoul coming bouncing down the block
Mask on, hood up,
stomping through the yard Yeah you came to play,
but the phantom plays hard (hey,
hey, hey!)
Gate slams shut. (hahaha)
Yeah,
keep looking over your shoulder.
