1. Don't Take Candy From Strangers
  • Lyrics

    You make me shiver and shake 

    You make the Earth quake 

    Down below my weary knees

    You make me stumble and fall 

    I call your name out loud 

    Becuase you're all I see


    I can't see how

    I'll ever get out

    Let me tell ya now


    Don't take candy from strangers babe

    Ooo they'll eat you alive

    Don't take candy from strangers babe

    Ooo they'll take your life


    You make make me sliver and snake 

    And wait for a mistake 

    'cause that's my only chance

    For you to fumble the ball 

    And stall your brain out now 

    While I take a stance 


    I can't see how

    I'll ever get out

    Let me tell ya now


    Don't take candy from strangers babe

    Ooo they'll eat you alive

    Don't take candy from strangers babe

    Ooo they'll take your life

    Life

2. Store
  • Lyrics

    Candy bags just line the rows

    Up and down

    All the carts stub the peoples' toes

    As they push them ‘round 


    Watch out! 

    There’s a spill down in aisle four

    It’s sticky on the floor now

     I shout! 

    These kids are rotten straight to the core 

    Better grab what I came in for


    If you could stop shuffling your shoes please

    'cause I’ve got to get through the line too

    Remove your disguise and look from my point of view please 

    'cause I need to escape this grocery zoo

    Got to get out

    Out 

    Out

    Out of the store


    Stop shuffling your shoes please

    'cause I’ve got to get through the line too

    Remove your disguise and look from my point of view please 

    'cause I need to escape this grocery zoo


    The night is dead but the store’s alive

    Gonna grab me something good to eat

    Gummy worms, monsters, carving knives

    It’s almost time to trick or treat


    Watch out!

    Register nine’s moving quickly

    I start moving briskly

    I shout!

    As the line fills up but not with me

    My stomach starts feeling sickly


    If you could stop shuffling your shoes please

    'cause I’ve got to get through the line too

    Remove your disguise and look from my point of view please 

    'cause I need to escape this grocery zoo

    Got to get out

    Out 

    Out

    Out of the store

3. Cletus
  • Lyrics

    My name is Cletus

    I'm your childhood toy

    My name is Cletus

    I'm the spirit of a little boy


    When you aren't home I like to move around

    And when you are I like to make scary sounds

    When you're sleeping I like to stare at you

    When you're awake I like to watch you too


    My name is Cletus

    I'm your childhood toy

    My name is Cletus

    I'm the spirit of a little boy


    One day you will see me walking around

    That is when I'll make you really frown

    I've been planning, planning an escape

    I just need a boy whose life I can take


    My name is Cletus

    I'm your childhood toy

    My name is Cletus

    I'm the spirit of a little boy


    Cletus

    I'm your childhood toy

    My name is Cletus

    I'm the spirit of a little boy

4. Jack
  • Lyrics

    I see the blade rising up higher

    It’s multiplied by your look of desire

    I’ll haunt your dreams as you light me on fire


    Fall breeze brushing the trees' leaves

    Painting a scene  for All Hallows’ Eve

    Jack is born 

    Next to a man made of corn


    I saw Jack sprout from a seed that bright, hopeful day

    He grew up right next to me in this field of pumpkins all scattered with hay

    Now the pumpkins here ain’t your normal carry home kind

    They grow bigger and brighter in such a short period of time

    Now every autumn it starts to get to be real dark 'round these parts

    Not cause of the sun mind you, but 'cause I know the fate of these pumpkins way in the back of my heart

    When that day finally comes  I think ole Jack will be alright 

    'cause he seems like he’s got spunk and that fighting spirit's fight


    I see the blade rising up higher

    It’s multiplied by your look of desire

    I’ll haunt your dreams as you light me on fire


    Rough winds blow every season 

    Taken from home and from kin

    Jack is strong

    Biggest pumpkin to have his own song 


    Now I always knew Jack was special but that doesn’t mean he’s some sort of a prize

    As they stood there and weighed him tears formed in my eyes 

    Before I knew it they had pulled up their truck and hauled him away 

    Now I did my best to keep an eye on that 4x4 'till it faded on down the highway

    It’s always tough having to say goodbye, but I knew this wasn’t the end for him

    I bet every straw in my cap, I’d get to say hi and see him again

    You see even though Jack’s about to get cut up and carved

    When he gets a fire in his belly he gets to be real, real charged


    I see the blade rising up higher

    It’s multiplied by your look of desire

    I’ll haunt your dreams as you light me on fire


    You see up till now most of y’all are prolly thinking Jack is somewhat of a has been

    Feeling mighty sorry for him the way he was plucked, like he’d committed some awful sin

    I suppose I should tell y’all bout the day I saw Jack once more

    It still haunts me the way his seeds and stems lay scattered across that hardwood floor

    That wasn’t all I saw that day, there was flesh in the corner, stacked up like a bouquet

    Now I loved that lantern like my own, shows what happens at the end of a rope, when you're taken from home

    I've been scared as a crow since I saw Jack covered  in blood, laughing all alone

    I'll never forget that smile on his face as his flame flickered, his heart still as stone


    I see the blade rising up higher

    It’s multiplied by your look of desire

    I’ll haunt your dreams as you light me on fire
