Trick Or Treat
Liner Notes
“Trick Or Treat” - #fawm 50/90 2024 song 48
I’ve written songs for Christmas, Advent, New Year, and Valentines Day. Here’s my first stab (!) at a Halloween song. Lyrics from last summer; music from today.
4 lyric drafts left to finish from 2023…

Lyrics
A jump-scare night of organ tones
A shadow that won’t
Leave you alone
A tree reaching with claw to snag
Your witch’s hat
Your candy bag
It’s Halloween
And you’re a sticky sweet
That any monster’d love to eat
It’s Halloween
I’m down to trick or treat
oo-OO-oo-ooh
The pumpkins grinning from each stoop
A blood-trail paints
In spattered loops
A child is screaming somewhere near
A candle snuffs
The air is weird
CHORUS
Surprise!
I’m a cadaver carved in alabaster
Grinning on a slab
Good News!
The ghosts who do the most
Are not all villain-bad
oo-OO-oo-ooh
oo-OO-oo-ooh
CHORUS
