(Verse 1) Keys in the ignition, the moon’s a raw wound Rearview’s full of shapes that won’t stay in the room Frost on the hood and the sky’s bleeding blue Highway’s got teeth and it’s chewing right through Your boots on the dash, dust rising like smoke Radio’s dead but the static still spoke (Chorus) Halloween drive — let the cold wind scream Through the blacktop veins where the headlights gleam Windows cracked, speakers chewing the night Under a sky the color of a knife fight Crimson and gold tearing open the trees We’re racing the dark and the dark’s racing me (Verse 2) Jacket zipped tight but the windows stay down Town’s already gone, just the hush and the sound Bass in the floorboards, the shadows lean in Roadside figures wave like they already know when Leaf hits the glass and it sticks like a name Moon’s getting lower, the road’s getting strange (Chorus) Halloween drive — let the cold wind scream Through the blacktop veins where the headlights gleam Windows cracked, speakers chewing the night Under a sky the color of a knife fight Crimson and gold tearing open the trees We’re racing the dark and the dark’s racing me (Bridge) No map, no signal, just the pull of the wheel Past the crooked church where the headlights kneel Your hand finds the volume, mine stays on the line This nightmare’s the only one that feels like mine Midnight’s got us, the exits are gone We’re chasing the moon and the moon’s moving on (Final Chorus) Halloween drive — let the cold wind scream Through the blacktop veins where the headlights gleam Windows cracked, speakers chewing the night Under a sky the color of a knife fight Crimson and gold tearing open the trees We’re racing the dark and the dark’s racing me (Outro) Engine’s still growling, the dead songs play We’re cutting through the dark till the edges of day Halloween drive Hear the night reply Windows down Let’s ride.
