SweetTooth Lyrics

Another trip around the block

We race against the midnight clock

You take my mask, I don your cape

This ploy requires unfamiliar shapes

Returning to the same front doors

We'd trick-or-treated hours before

And one by one the neighbors pour

The candied sweets and chocolate treats galore

But as I marveled at our feat

We must've wandered off the street

For now the only house i see

Is draped in night and tucked amongst the trees

I hesitate and then I hear

A thrash of leaves - you've disappeared

But I've no time to call your name

Something's come out from that house, and it's heading my way

I'm paralyzed with shock and fear

With patient strides, it's drawing near

My pillowcase of treats in hand

The last defense against this demon-man

I break the trance and back away

Said "I'm sorry to be out so late"

And when he laughed I saw his face

And felt such fright that I took flight while the monster made chase

He had a pumpkin head

With hollow eyes of flame

He smelled of rot and death

I felt his breath when he screamed my name

The moon was full and red

I thought I had escaped

But when I turned to look, his fingers tore my cape

I made it out somehow

And met my friend in town

We never found that house

Just candy wrappers on the ground

Devil's got a sweet tooth

And my pillowcase, too

So next year when I trick-or-treat

I'll settle for one round of sweets

Just stick to the familiar streets

And stay away from pumpkin-headed creeps
