Track Insight / Lyrics
Shutter clicks on wet slate
Black cat prowls the midnight gate
Film burns in my cold hand
Halloween breathes on rooftops
Bus wheels hiss on rain-slick streets
I frame the cat on chimney peaks
Slate shines slick with gutter water
Claws tap rhythm, slow and harder
[Pre-
Wind tears through the TV wire
Flashbulb paints the fur in fire
Shutter steals a silent scream
Halloween unfolds in steam
Black cat prowls on Halloween
Wet slate glows in ghostly sheen
My lens drinks the midnight oil
Rooftops hum, spirits coil
Alleyway smells of burnt sugar
Cat's eyes cut the fog like dagger
I click, the film winds tight and slow
October wind begins to blow
[Pre-
Wire hums with witching hour
Flashbulb paints the fur in power
Shutter steals a silent scream
Halloween unfolds in steam
Black cat prowls on Halloween
Wet slate glows in ghostly sheen
My lens drinks the midnight oil
Rooftops hum, spirits coil
Gutter water mirrors stars
Cat walks paths on chimney bars
My fingers freeze on metal casing
Night dissolves, no time for chasing
No bus ticket, no home address
Just cat and camera, cold duress
The sky cracks open, violet light
Halloween swallows up the night
Black cat prowls on Halloween
Wet slate glows in ghostly sheen
My lens drinks the midnight oil
Rooftops hum, spirits coil
Dawn bleeds gray on slate tiles
Cat vanishes in morning miles
My film canister holds the ghost
Of Halloween I love the most
Black cat prowls on Halloween
Wet slate glows in ghostly sheen
My lens drinks the midnight oil
Rooftops hum, spirits coil
Black cat prowls on Halloween
Shutter clicks, the cat is gone
Halloween lingers on and on
