halloween

Siouxie An Banshees

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
"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 lustre 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...
