I tumbled out of bed
Like the leaves tumbled out of the trees
Think to myself, not again please
The nights are drawing near
And the days are short but full of fear
Not again, not again please
Cause at the end of the summer
When it stops getting warmer
That’s when it all goes bad, all goes bad again
All goes bad, all goes bad again
Three hundred years ago
Or so, this town was haunted by a curse
Now every year on the 31st
(They come back)
At the end of the summer
When it stops getting warmer
That’s when it all goes bad, all goes bad again
All goes bad, all goes bad again
And at the end of the summer
When it stops getting warmer
That’s when it all goes bad, all goes bad again
All goes bad, all goes bad again
People say it don’t exist
But I know better
They say it’s a load of shit
But I know better
People say it's just a myth
But I know better
When they say it don’t exist
They end up… dead
At the end of the summer
When it stops getting warmer
That’s when it all goes bad, all goes bad again
All goes bad, all goes bad again
And at the end of the summer
When it stops getting warmer
That’s when it all goes bad, all goes bad again
All goes bad, all goes bad again

I’m pretty sure that you aren’t human
There’s something wrong with the way you’re moving
I don’t know how, but I can tell
You’re a robot witch from Planet Hell
From, from, from Planet Hell
From, from, from Planet Hell
I took you out to dinner
Friday night at 8
Your eyes they had a shimmer
But not in a pretty way
I’m pretty sure that you aren’t human
There’s something wrong with the way you’re moving
I don’t know how, but I can tell
You’re a robot witch from Planet Hell
From, from, from Planet Hell
From, from, from Planet Hell
Next thing I know I’m waking
Up in your dungeon cave
I see the drink you’re making
In your cauldron from outer space
I’m built to kill, its coded in my system
My sisters too, oh how much I’ve missed them
Shame you won’t see what will go down
When we put our spell over this town
I’m pretty sure that you aren’t human
There’s something wrong with the way you’re moving
I don’t know how, but I can tell
You’re a robot witch from Planet Hell
From, from, from Planet Hell
From, from, from Planet Hell
From, from, from Planet Hell
From, from, from Planet Hell

What the hell happened to me last night?
I can’t tell why my face is so white
In the mirror, is someone I don’t know
Why’d I look like a total bozo
Oh no
Take a picture, so exciting
The full moon is almost blinding
When you look the other way
A giant mallet hits your face
Super fucked up transformation
Tiny mode of transportation
Turn your smile into a frown
When my circus comes to town
Once again I feel it coming on
My nose turns red and my feet grow really long
Now human flesh is the only thing I crave
I’ll honk my horn while I dig your fucking grave
Okay
Take a picture, so exciting
The full moon is almost blinding
When you try to get away
A giant mallet hits your face
Super fucked up transformation
Tiny mode of transportation
I’ll put you into the ground
When my circus comes to town
I’m crying with laughter
You’re dying soon after
My make-up is ruined now
But hey, that’s the life of a wereclown
Of a wereclown

Some government guys showed up late in the night
To my house, conspiring
They asked me some questions
I know that they knew I was lying
A detailed description of all of the shit that
I saw in the woods
But what they don’t know is that I got way closer
Than I ever should
I got the scar to prove it
I don’t know what I’m doing
The lights just kept on moving
Through the sky at 5am
Again
Some little grey guys showed up late in the night
To the woods, a sighting
I tried to escape them
But they knew just where I was hiding
Aboard their ship I was an experiment
I’m not sure what they took
But all that I know is that I am way closer
To knowing the truth
I got the scar to prove it
I don’t know what I’m doing
The lights just kept on moving
Through the sky at 5am
I got the scar to prove it
I don’t know what I’m doing
The lights just kept on moving
Through the sky at 5am

Hop in the hearse, we’re going for a joyride
Nothing is worse than the first time you die
Situations for the living
At the graveyard, my favourite spot to party
Chill in the dark, a dead rose cause I’m arty
Situations for the living
Back at my place, I show you your new coffin
Now I can drain your blood cause no one’s watching
Situations for the living
And I’m so sorry but I’m afraid that they’re no use to you now
Cause situations for the living like sunlight or going swimming
Aren’t what we’re about

pumpkin people

A toxic waste spillage cuts through the soil
Wrapped round the pumpkin seeds
Malevolent forces rise up from under
The night of Halloween
Now amber crunches ripping through the suburbs
Whilst everyone’s asleep
The pumpkin people out here causing trouble
When the kids go out to trick or treat
No, that’s not a costume
It’s actually their heads
Yeah, the jack-o’-lanterns
Were orange once but now they’re red
They dance outside your neighbours house at midnight
A special kind of TP
The street in a frenzy of flames as they fly
His intestines up into a tree
No, that’s not a costume
It’s actually their heads
Yeah, the jack-o’-lanterns
Were orange once but now they’re red
Were orange once but now they’re red
Were orange once but now they’re red

Caveman frozen in ice
Lost to the sands of time
Found by a group of kids
And they’re gonna thaw him out
Now he’s going to school
Everyone thinks he’s cool
Yelling about mammoths
What the hell are you talking bout?

Working late, I got the night shift
Another midnight movie’s on
A kinda spooky, kinda frightening
Double feature slasher marathon
All my friends are at a party
While I’m serving nerds popcorn
Didn’t know I was inviting
A parnormal phenomenon
And when you said it’s a cult classic
I didn’t think you meant it so literally
Now there’s all sorts of dark magic
Pouring out of the screen in cinema 3
I’m running for my life, I’m hiding
A movie monster stalks the halls
Behind the seats I crawl deciding
If I’ll make it out alive at all
And when you said it’s a cult classic
I didn’t think you meant it so literally
Now there’s all sorts of dark magic
Pouring out of the screen in cinema 3
Yeah yeah, the multiplex is haunted
And nothing’s gonna stop it
Yeah yeah, the multiplex is haunted
And nothing’s gonna stop it now
They summoned him into the real world
With a spell they learned, so cautious
Now he’s here to scare us all to death
A major hit at the box office
And when you said it’s a cult classic
I didn’t think you meant it so literally
Now there’s all sorts of dark magic
Pouring out of the screen in cinema 3
Yeah yeah, the multiplex is haunted
And nothing’s gonna stop it
Yeah yeah, the multiplex is haunted
And nothing’s gonna stop it now

I haven’t felt alive in quite some time
But I’m finally feeling better
When I saw you walking through the door
In your cosy purple sweater
I knew you were way out of my league
But I thought I’d at least try
So I’ll do my best to contact you
From the other side
And I think you
Are why the flowers bloom
And I like you
But I’m see through
So I’m moving objects round the room
To try and grab your attention
And I rearrange the fridge magnets
To write you love notes in the kitchen
It’s been a couple hundred years now
Since I passed away
So I think it’s about time
I got back in the game
And I think you
Are why the flowers bloom
And I like you
But I’m see through
Then you finally called seance
So you could speak with the dead
And I was so excited
But the signal was kinda bad
Did the cosmic terror of the afterlife
Scare you away?
Because the house I’m bound to
Went up for sale the next day
And I think you
Are why the flowers bloom
But I’m see through
So I guess that I will never be with you

Ice cold can of slime
Went out of business in ’99
Back on the shelves, I gotta try it
One drink from the can
Summons an evil from an ancient land
A creepy mascot from the 90s
I’ve never seen anything like it
Glowing bright green
The guy at the store
No longer has a head anymore
She ripped it off like it was nothing
I’ve never seen anything like it
Glowing bright green
She’s tiny but violent
I take it back, I don’t need anything
Yeah, keep the change
I’ve never seen anything like it
I’ve never seen anything like it
Glowing bright green
She’s tiny but violent
I take it back, I don’t need anything
Yeah, keep the change
I’ve never seen anything like it
Anything like it

bottomless pit

Something’s going down in this fucked up little town
And I’m getting to the bottom of it
Dark forces start to creep through the woods of Crater Creek
And they crawl out of this ominous pit
Shall we see how far it goes? Do you really wanna know?
Yeah, I’m scared out of my mind, can you tell?
Cause it’s more than just a curse, oh, it’s actually so much worse
Yeah this town’s built on a portal to hell
(That figures)
I’ve been making my way to the bottom of this
Bottomless pit
I’ve been making my to the bottom of it
And it goes on and on and on
Ever since the leaves started to lose their shade of green
The doorway to their worlds not been so far
Now the dead are wide awake and there’s something in the lake!!!
Time to start making my way through the dark
I’ve been making my way to the bottom of this
Bottomless pit
I’ve been making my to the bottom of it
And it goes on and on and on
Plastic jack-o’-lanterns light their way up to the landing
A haunted house attraction wasn’t quite what I was planning
On seeing down here
But I guess that it makes sense
There’s this laboratory that sleeps beneath the surface
It crumbles underneath all of the pressure of it’s purpose
From being down here
That’s when I heard the voice singing
Now the portal’s open, soon nobody will remember
The feeling of the summer or Christmas in December
We’re only at the start of what this town is at the centre of
Now it’s halloween forever!
And I’ve been making my way to the bottom of this
Bottomless pit
I’ve been making my to the bottom of it
That’s when it all goes bad again
