Halloween Again

[Verse 1] You’re tying a cape in the kitchen light Black cat sprawled by the porch all night A bowl of little paper moons And sugar dust across your shoes You paint a grin, I draw a scar We take the long way past the yard The neighbor’s skeleton waves hello And every window puts on a show [Pre-Chorus] Come on, the door is open wide There’s room for every strange disguise [Chorus] It’s Halloween, come out and play We get to be whoever for a day A witch, a ghost, a king in gold A little brave, a little bold So fill your pockets, raise your voice The night is ours, the choice is yours When the porch lights beckon, come on in It’s Halloween again! [Verse 2] You trade a handful for a treat Then race your friends down Maple Street A dragon tail caught in the gate We laugh so hard we’re running late Your little brother’s monster roar Could scare the hinges off the door Then Grandma answers, dressed to thrill With chocolate bars enough to fill [Pre-Chorus] Come on, the door is open wide There’s room for every strange disguise [Chorus] It’s Halloween, come out and play We get to be whoever for a day A witch, a ghost, a king in gold A little brave, a little bold So fill your pockets, raise your voice The night is ours, the choice is yours When the porch lights beckon, come on in It’s Halloween again! [Bridge: halftime] When the last small footsteps fade We sort our treasures on the floor One crooked mask, one paper crown And just enough to ask for more [Build] One more house! One more street! One more handful, something sweet! [Final Chorus] It’s Halloween, come out and play We get to be whoever for a day A witch, a ghost, a king in gold A little brave, a little bold So fill your pockets, raise your voice The night is ours, the choice is yours When the porch lights beckon, come on in It’s Halloween again! [Outro] Your cape is dragging, your bag is thin See you next Halloween again!
