[Intro] Candles lean when I walk in Black cat bolts from the coffin [Verse 1] Pumpkin grin split wide on the porch Cold hands curled round the handle of the torch A wolf at the fence with a silver-tooth smile I hear your boots stop halfway down the tile [Pre-Chorus] Count one, count two, don’t turn around The floorboards know the shape of your sound [Chorus] Trick or treat, let the bad ones in Monster at the window with a needle-tooth grin Witch in the kitchen, bats in the hall When the clock strikes twelve, hear the whole house call Trick or treat, better hide your face Something with claws just took your place [Verse 2] My shadow’s got horns and it moves too soon A stitched-up doll hums a crooked tune The graveyard gate swings open on its own A tall thing waits where the dead leaves blow [Pre-Chorus] Count one, count two, don’t turn around The floorboards know the shape of your sound [Chorus] Trick or treat, let the bad ones in Monster at the window with a needle-tooth grin Witch in the kitchen, bats in the hall When the clock strikes twelve, hear the whole house call Trick or treat, better hide your face Something with claws just took your place [Bridge] Hush now, the cellar door is breathing Hush now, the black dog’s underneath it I left one candle burning bright It went out when you said goodnight [Final Chorus] Trick or treat, let the bad ones in Monster at the window with a needle-tooth grin Witch in the kitchen, bats in the hall When the clock strikes twelve, hear the whole house call Trick or treat, better hide your face Something with claws just took your place [Outro] Candles lean when I walk in Black cat bolts from the coffin
