oh you could be a haunted house
and hold your lover like a ghost in the attic
today I am a haunted house
and they are coming through the cracks in the static
you could light up
like a jack o' lantern or a joint
and breathe out a puff
to lighten the air of the autumn night
but you could spend your summer
on Halloween island caught up in the spiderwebs
dancin' with the ghosts of your past
on halloween island hangin' with the skeletons
slippin' through the holes in their hands
'cause you don't flesh out your plans
you listen for the owls at night
and think about the field that you used to stand in
to hear the bats up in their flight
making noise, swooping down, never landin'
and you forget how the moon loves to meddle in your love life
it must be hard for her i guess
bein' so far away from her ocean wife
but you could spend your summer
on Halloween island caught up in the spiderwebs
dancin' with the ghosts of your past
on halloween island hangin' with the skeletons
slippin' through the holes in their hands
'cause you don't flesh out your plans
and I hope that you see
that the real monsters don't come out on Halloween
so go ahead play trick or treat
because we are all our own worst enemies
on Halloween island caught up in the spiderwebs
dancin' with the ghosts of your past
on Halloween island hangin' with the skeletons
slippin' through the holes in their hands
Halloween island caught up in the spiderwebs
dancin' with the ghosts of your past
on Halloween island hangin' with the skeletons
slippin' through the holes in their hands
'cause you don't flesh out your plans
