Rain slicks the cobblestone avenues
Meter running no fare pays
Wiper blades clear ghostly views
Black cat prowls the roofing slates
Black cat midnight on wet slate roofs
Haunted October claims its due
Taxi wisdom knows the truth
Halloween owns me and you
Streetlamps flicker sodium dying
Passenger side stays empty still
Cat drops silent no denying
Gravity bends to Halloween will
Black cat midnight on wet slate roofs
Haunted October claims its due
Taxi wisdom knows the truth
Halloween owns me and you
Brass section mutters low and deep
Cello bows the graveyard shift
Driver watches does not sleep
Every fare a ghostly gift
Organ screams through Leslie spin
Mellotron flutes like banshee breath
Cabin shakes the devil in
Racing dawn to cheat the death
Hollowbody sings clean and cold
Prairie reverb swallows sound
Weathered voice tells stories old
Cat drops down on hallowed ground
Black cat midnight on wet slate roofs
Haunted October claims its due
Taxi wisdom knows the truth
Halloween owns me and you
Fare box empty night near done
Cat rides shotgun amber eyes
Dawn breaks slow the race is won
Halloween never truly dies
Black cat midnight on wet slate roofs
Haunted October claims its due
Taxi wisdom knows the truth
Halloween owns me and you
Black cat midnight Halloween owns me and you
Meter off the shift is through
Halloween owns me and you
