about

This is a song based on the movie The Halloween Tree which is based on the book The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury. The Halloween Tree.

lyrics

Come with me
And solve 3 mysteries in one, what fun then
The Halloween Tree
Will take us on an epic adventure 2nd to none, what fun then
A thousand grimaces, and twice times the thousand glares
Of fresh cut eyes
When pumpkins grow on trees
Complete with illuminated cavities
You know damn well you're in for a ride

Escaping to the undiscovered country now
You say you don't know how to celebrate Halloween
Well settle down, kid, I'll show you how (Ready, set, go!)
Say, is that a pumpkin tree? (No, is it a Halloween tree)

You've had your fun
Take a trip to an Egyptian crypt, down this road ahead
When night kills the sun
Every day was Halloween for those who wrapped their dead
Share a meal with the deceased, at the Feast of Ghosts
But if you're on this fence
Follow me to the Old English broomfields-
Where they'd burn you alive for having any intelligence

It might just be this funny moonlight
But I can see right through you
Can't you see it's Halloween night
So where's your Halloween night costume?
Halloween is a day for the dead, but if you're not ready-
Grab your pumpkin-fire soul from the Halloween Tree

Ride a monster through your nightmares
Through your fears, through this meadow and darkened skies
Enter a boneyard if you might dare
But pay the rent on your grave, or the dead will rise
The dawn's approaching soon
This way before the witching hour
Know that Death is always with you
But if you face him eye to eye, he'll lose his power

It might just be this funny moonlight
But I can see right through you
Don't you know it's Halloween night
So what's your Halloween night costume?
Halloween is a day for the dead, but if you're not ready-
Grab your pumpkin-fire soul from the Halloween Tree

Not that a day could eat-
Suffice to say All Hallows' Eve has swallowed us whole
The last grand Trick or Treat
On that Halloween night so long ago...
