[Verse 1] You left your mask beside the sink A paper grin with one loose string The hallway clock skips half a beat Your muddy boots track through the leaves [Pre-Chorus] Count to four, the candles bend Something’s knocking from within You say my name; I say it back Then the front door gives a crack [Chorus] Trick or treat, come close, don’t blink We’re the little monsters on your street Black cat eyes and a crooked crown We turn the whole old house upside down Trick or treat, your heart says run But you’re laughing when the night comes undone [Verse 2] The kitchen radio coughs a tune A plastic spider climbs your shoe You steal my coat, I steal your dare We race the wind down the cellar stairs [Pre-Chorus] Count to four, the candles bend Something’s knocking from within You say my name; I say it back Then the front door gives a crack [Chorus] Trick or treat, come close, don’t blink We’re the little monsters on your street Black cat eyes and a crooked crown We turn the whole old house upside down Trick or treat, your heart says run But you’re laughing when the night comes undone [Bridge] If the moon gets caught in the branches If the old floor groans below Take my hand, we’ll scare the silence Then we’ll steal the last sweet roll [Final Chorus] Trick or treat, come close, don’t blink We’re the little monsters on your street Black cat eyes and a crooked crown We turn the whole old house upside down Trick or treat, your heart says run But you’re laughing when the night comes undone [Outro] When the night comes undone
