Halloween



The night is still

And the frost it bites my face

I wear my silence like a mask

And murmur like a ghost

"Trick or Treat"

"Trick or Treat"

The bitter and the sweet



The carefree days

Are distant now

I wear my memories like a shroud

I try but words collapse

Echoing

"Trick or Treat"

"Trick or Treat"

The bitter and the sweet



Chorus:

I wander through your sadness

Gazing at you with scorpion eyes

Halloween ... Halloween



A sweet reminder

In the ice-blue nursery

Of a childish murder

Of hidden lustre

And she cries

"Trick or Treat"

"Trick or Treat"

The bitter and the sweet



(chorus)



Monitor

Monitor outside

For the people inside

A prevention of crime

A passing of time



They come and they go

It's a passing of time

They come and they go

Whilst we sit in our homes



Sit back and enjoy

The real McCoy

Our new air of authority

Our sentinel of misery



His facewas full of intent

And we shook with excitement

Then the victim stared up

Looked strangely at the screen

As if her pain was our fault

But that's entertainment

What we crave for inside

No more second rate movies

From those people outside
