Lyrics Halloween - Washington

Halloween

Oh, Captain of my industry
Oh, cigarettes & company
I’m never where I want to be
The dirty, dirty ground
Oh, Halloween!
The blood you drew
You carved a space to climb into
& like a lantern, like a pyre
I burn, I burn with holy fire
I talk when I don’t have to
& I hope it doesn’t matter
'cause we know what we know
I don’t know how you do it, but I change
& you see to it that we ain’t got no show
& all I could see in the ink of the dark
Was your cigarette, breathing
Like a beating heart
I fold mine in, like origami
It might look pretty
But you do not know me
I talk when I don’t have to
& I hope it doesn’t matter
'cause we know what we know
I don’t know how you do it, but I change
& you see to it that we ain’t got no show
Oh, Halloween
Oh, jealous star
Are you who you say you are?
I thought you would have found me out by now
Oh, Halloween
The blood you drew
You carved a space to climb into
I don’t know what I should have seen
Not since Halloween
