lyrics

It's a great night for a seance
At the house where that kid was killed a hundred years ago tonight
I know you don't fuck around with the forces of chaos
But I'll take a Ouija board any day of my life

Over my rising student fees
And the erosion of my civil liberties
I'm paranoid for my life
Every day but Halloween

So even if we piss off the wrong demons
I wanna be your man for Halloween
Hold me close as you hear them screaming
But I don't need a mask to make you scream

Zeebo was a dummy in a fun house
Based on some killer clown that burnt alive
Your boyfriend stole his nose because I dared him to
And now I don't think he's going to last the night

He said "I don't believe in urban legends"
"I think they're just made up to scare little kids"
"But if you didn't put that dummy in my bedroom"
"Well, I wonder who did"

And now I heard that your boyfriend ain't around
And I wanna be your man for Halloween
Hold me close as the lights cut out
You're in costume as the girl of my dreams

When you babysit that Brixton kid
I'll sneak in and we'll make out for a while
I saw his sister in the hallway
But you said he's an only child

Yeah, yeah
And I wanna be your man for Halloween
Hold me close as the lights cut out
You're always in costume as the girl of my dreams
