[Verse 1] I came out when the porch lights died Black mask on and a grin too wide Jack-o'-lantern watchin' from the fence You felt that chill? Yeah, that was me then Boots on leaves like a soft alarm I learned your fear like I learn charm Candy in my hand, knife in my mind I knock so sweet, then I step inside [Pre-Chorus] Hush now, baby, lock that door I know what you're prayin' for Hear that knock? Hear that sound? I'm the thing that won't sit down [Chorus] Halloween night, I come alive (come alive) Halloween night, you won't survive (you won't survive) Turn out the porch, hide your face I'm the smile behind the lace Halloween night, I come alive (come alive) [Verse 2] I wear your shadow like a coat I leave cold breath on the throat Your little town in paper white Looks so sweet before the bite I move real slow through your backyard Past the swing set, past the yard You hear me laugh? That ain't a game By dawn they'll know my name [Pre-Chorus] Hush now, baby, lock that door I know what you're prayin' for Hear that knock? Hear that sound? I'm the thing that won't sit down [Chorus] Halloween night, I come alive (come alive) Halloween night, you won't survive (you won't survive) Turn out the porch, hide your face I'm the smile behind the lace Halloween night, I come alive (come alive) [Bridge] No saints here, no holy ground Just a pulse and a hunted sound When the moon hangs low and red I don't sleep, I count your steps [Final Chorus] Halloween night, I come alive (come alive) Halloween night, you won't survive (you won't survive) Turn out the porch, hide your face I'm the smile behind the lace Halloween night, I come alive (come alive)
