Halloween

Siouxsie And The Banshees · Juju [1981]

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 to speak but words collapse

Echoing. echoing

Trick or treat

Trick or treat

The bitter and the sweet

Trick or treat

Trick or treat

The bitter and the sweet



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 luster

And she cries

Trick or treat

Trick or treat

The bitter and the sweet

Trick or treat

Trick or treat

The bitter and the sweet



I wander through your sadness

Gazing at you with scorpion eyes

Halloween, Halloween

Halloween, Halloween
