[Verse 1] Tiny shadow in the cornfield Big one blocking out the moon They’re giggling in the scarecrow’s coat They’re humming that autumn tune Round eyes peeking from the hedges Orange lanterns in a line Every size along the roadside Like a marching warning sign [Chorus] Pumpkaboo parade Through the graveyard gate Every step they take is a borrowed fate They twirl and they sway where the old names fade Little pumpkins spinning with the souls they saved Pumpkaboo parade Hear the whispers say “If you walk with us You don’t lose your way” Soft as a secret Cold as a blade Pumpkaboo Pumpkaboo parade [Verse 2] One rides high on a tombstone One curls small on a shoe They trade stories with the crickets Of the things that spirits do Carry grandmas Carry strangers Carry kids who lost their way Cradled in that hollow center Till the dark turns back to day [Chorus] Pumpkaboo parade Through the graveyard gate Every step they take is a borrowed fate They twirl and they sway where the old names fade Little pumpkins spinning with the souls they saved Pumpkaboo parade Hear the whispers say “If you walk with us You don’t lose your way” Soft as a secret Cold as a blade Pumpkaboo Pumpkaboo parade [Bridge] How many hearts can one ghost gourd hold? (hey) Big ones heavy with a thousand hopes Small ones hiding just a single name But they glow the same They glow the same [Chorus] Pumpkaboo parade Through the graveyard gate Every step they take is a borrowed fate They twirl and they sway where the old names fade Little pumpkins spinning with the souls they saved Pumpkaboo parade Hear the whispers say “If you walk with us You don’t lose your way” Soft as a secret Cold as a blade Pumpkaboo Pumpkaboo parade
