Prom Night |
A long time ago, at a school I used to go to |
Prom night, in the heat of July |
The king and queen snogged by the toilets |
The school band plays the Long Slow Goodbye |
The limousines cook on the tarmac |
And the teachers overseeing the event |
Just wanna go back home |
A boy vomits up his canteen dinner |
In the high school’s honeysuckle garden |
He mops his lips on a handkerchief |
His peers are smoking and they’re lit up in halogen |
On the way to the loo to wash his face |
The king and queen are locked in an embrace |
They learnt from a film |
And I was waiting round the corner in my car |
To pick up my sister, when this charade was over |
And I was listening to the radio |
Then a tap at the door from a limousine chauffer |
I wound down my window, he said 'can you hear what I hear?' |
And I listened to the wailing that was coming |
From the gate of the school |
And the wails became a flood |
I never heard so many screams |
People coming out covered in blood |
Do you know what it was? |
It was like Halloween |
The smell of fear, and the smell of smoke |
Mixed together in the fans and the flames |
Like a perfume I’ll never forget |
I ran around screaming her name |
In the belly of a burning dog |
I never saw her again |
But sometimes I hear her in the rain |
But I swear to god, that night |
Before the sirens arrived on the scene |
Something stepped out from under the rubble |
Whatever it was |
It was like Halloween |
(oh, oh, it was like Halloween |
Oh, oh, it was like Halloween |
Oh, oh, it was like Halloween |
Oh, oh, it was like Halloween) |
