Cracked vinyl seats hold winter's breath
Fare meter stuck on sleep and death
Dry leaves scratch the cracked windshield glass
Blood moon watches slow time pass
Iron gate swings on rusted hinge
Blood orange moon begins to sing
Autumn leaves dance in circles tight
Halloween owns this stolen night
Passenger side stays empty still
No fare to pay no driver's bill
Pumpkin grin on porch light dies
Shadow stretches long and wise
Iron gate swings on rusted hinge
Blood orange moon begins to sing
Autumn leaves dance in circles tight
Halloween owns this stolen night
CB crackles with static prayer
Crossroads witches comb their hair
Taxi idles at the county line
Where veil grows thin and stars align
Iron gate swings on rusted hinge
Blood orange moon begins to sing
Autumn leaves dance in circles tight
Halloween owns this stolen night
Old hands grip the worn steering wheel
Steel belly hums a low appeal
Every mile a story told
Every night turns cold to gold
Dawn cracks slow on cemetery stone
Night shift over driver heads home
But gate still swings when moon bleeds red
Halloween remembers dead
Iron gate swings on rusted hinge
Blood orange moon begins to sing
Autumn leaves dance in circles tight
Halloween owns this stolen night
Halloween owns this stolen night
Meter reads zero in the gray
Another fare has slipped away
