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
