Half Price Pumpkins
[Verse 1] October aisle Fluorescent halo Cart squeaks slow It’s just me and the dust Bent cardboard Orange faces fading Sticker on the sign: “HALF PRICE OR BUST” [Chorus] Half price pumpkins Late to the party All of the candles Already burned down Still I pick you up Like you’re something holy Carrying leftovers Through a holiday town (hey!) [Verse 2] Kids’ costumes Crammed in a clearance bin Glitter on the floor From a week ago You got a flat side And a broken stem But I see a lantern No one else chose [Chorus] Half price pumpkins Late to the party All of the candles Already burned down Still I pick you up Like you’re something holy Carrying leftovers Through a holiday town (oh-oh) [Bridge] We could carve our names Crooked and clumsy Set you on the porch Till the cold comes in Everything good Gets marked down someday I’ll be the fool Who buys it again [Chorus] Half price pumpkins Late to the party All of the candles Already burned down Still I pick you up Like you’re something holy Carrying leftovers Through a holiday town (yeah, I’ll take leftovers Over nothing now)
