Halloween

from Holiday Tripper by Charlie Crane

about

The drums are all samples of legendary Funk Brother Uriel Jones, which accounts for the track's Fauxtown feel. I do still live in a house that trick-or-treaters tend to ignore because it rarely looks like anybody's home, but I can't argue with leftover candy.

lyrics

Well it's Halloween night and the kids go around door to door
With a basket of sweets and a head full of cobwebs and gore
But I'm all alone and I think I know why
All the kids every year will just pass my house by
Though it's Halloween night and kids go around door to door

No one comes to my house even though I have so many treats
Don't even care about tricks, I'm just looking for someone to meet
But the kids in the town avoid my house like disease
Because it's kind of set back and surrounded by trees
No one comes to my house even though I have so many treats

The word on the street says I live in a haunted house
And no one dares to come inside, not even a mouse
And today is the scariest day of the year
But no one comes around cuz they're frozen with fear
The word on the street says I live in a haunted house

And it's not just my house that the people all seem to avoid
When I walk down the street it seems I have stepped into a void
When I go to the store I am not shocked to find
That the cashiers will not notice that I'm in line
Oh, it's not just my house that the people all seem to avoid

And I'm starting to think that I may be no more than a ghost
Because nobody comes by and I never get mail in the post
And that would explain why no one comes around
When I shout, it could be that no one hears a sound
So I'm starting to think that I may be no more than a ghost

The word on the street says I live in a haunted house
And no one cares to come inside, not even a mouse
But if I was a ghost, I'd be the last one to know
I wouldn't be surprised if I died years ago
Cuz the word on the street says I live in a haunted house
