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!
