[Verse 1] Sittin’ on the bench, watchin’ goblins run. Little trick-or-treaters trippin’ through the sun. I got nothin’ on me, just high as balls. Humpty bumpy thumping, hear them tiny paws. Kids dressed like rabbits, teeth on the sleeve. One little mask got me ready to leave. I seen a face strap made out the worst. I laughed, then froze up— felt that cold thirst. [Pre-Chorus] Now the porch lights blink, and the sidewalk sways. Candy bags are loaded like a plague parade. I’m squintin’ at the lawn, thinkin’ what’s that sound? If the dead come marchin’, I’m hittin’ the ground. [Chorus] Order of protection (order of protection) Order of protection from the graveyard section Candy bags packed up and the moon look mean Order of protection keep that nightmare clean [Verse 2] I’m sick and twisted, yeah, I know that’s true. But that one kid smiling had me checkin’ my shoe. Mask pulled crooked, wild like a joke. I said, “Don’t come nearer,” then I started to choke. Undead with the pillowcase, rattlin’ the gate. Tiny hands reachin’ like they can smell my fate. I’m posted on the bench, watchin’ shadows crawl. If they want my goodies, they can have it all. [Pre-Chorus] Now the porch lights blink, and the sidewalk sways. Candy bags are loaded like a plague parade. I’m squintin’ at the lawn, thinkin’ what’s that sound? If the dead come marchin’, I’m hittin’ the ground. [Chorus] Order of protection (order of protection) Order of protection from the graveyard section Candy bags packed up and the moon look mean Order of protection keep that nightmare clean [Bridge] Bumpin’ on the bench, heart doin’ cartwheels. One kid in a rabbit suit cut through my nerves real. I ain’t proud, baby, I’m just shook up bad. When the sugar and the shadows get to clashin’ like that. [Final Chorus] Order of protection (order of protection) Order of protection from the graveyard section Candy bags packed up and the moon look mean Order of protection keep that nightmare clean Order of protection (order of protection) Order of protection from the graveyard section
