lyrics

Every Halloween, I dress up in a costume
Walk 'round the neighborhood saying trick or treat
But this year, I must've not done something right
Because nobody at all gave me anything to eat

I wanted candy but all I got was flavored cardboard
It's all I received from everyone in town
If I use my imagination, it tastes just like a chocolate bar but
The brown pulp leaves a bad taste in my mouth

All my friends got M&M's
Snickers and Milky Ways
I wish that I could have some
But no-one wants to give theirs away

But then I saw this guy dressed up in devil horns
He said that he would like to make a trade
All I have to do is give up my soul
And all my cardboard will turn into candy

And I couldn't refuse his offer
I shook a hand; we made a deal
It sure seemed worth it then
But in the long run, it wasn't ideal

Now I'm no more, but my spirit lingers on
I haunt the town on every Halloween
Putting cardboard in the baskets of the children
So that they all will end up like me
Like me

The second album is named in his memory. ... more
