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
|
Halloween
