The city is wartorn
And nearly impassable
I act the lovelorn
Dramatically laughable
You said you'd come see me
Here underground
Now it's closing night
And you can't be found
I go through the motions again and again
But you are not here to see them
I go through the emotions again and again
And this time I actually feel them

So you're a coward
Or could never love me
Or you have fallen
To the enemy
I asked just one thing of you, to be here
Did I not let it slip that I was sincere?
That was my best poker face, trying not to care
I watch and I wait while you never appear

All these people came all this way
Faces stained with loss but smiling as they're crying
I would rather see you laugh at my tragedy
Than choke on these tears while I'm curtsying

In this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
'Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting no to pounce, and how you'll
Scream! This is Halloween
Red 'n' black, and slimy green
Aren't you scared?
Well, that's just fine
Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night
Everybody scream, everybody scream
In our town of Halloween!
