Track Insight / Lyrics
Sign flickers, buzzing like a fly
Wipe the counter down, watch the hours die
Dry leaves scratch the glass, a skeletal beat
Blood-orange moon rising, heavy and sweet
Graveyard special, coffee black as sin
Blood-orange moon watches where the night begins
Iron gate rattles, leaves skitter on the grill
Cooking up trouble, got the whole town chill
Witch in a booth, orders pie à la mode
Vampire tips his hat, takes the corner load
Werewolf howls for bacon, extra crisp
I just grin and flip, let the griddle hiss
Graveyard special, coffee black as sin
Blood-orange moon watches where the night begins
Iron gate rattles, leaves skitter on the grill
Cooking up trouble, got the whole town chill
Abandoned gate out back, hinges rusted red
Leaves swirl like ghosts where the trash is fed
Wind sings low through bars, a mournful tune
Kitchen stays warm beneath the harvest moon
Graveyard special, coffee black as sin
Blood-orange moon watches where the night begins
Iron gate rattles, leaves skitter on the grill
Cooking up trouble, got the whole town chill
Got a joke for the skeleton, he don't laugh
Mummy wraps his coffee, takes a half
Frankenstein's monster asks for double meat
I say "Coming up," can't be beat
Midnight rush hits, the bell rings loud
Monsters and mortals, drawn to the crowd
But the gate keeps shaking, the moon stays high
We're all just regulars, waiting to die
Dawn cracks pale, the spooks fade away
Iron gate silent in the morning gray
Wipe the grill clean, pour one last cup
Till the next Halloween, when the shadows sup
Graveyard special, coffee black as sin
Blood-orange moon watches where the night begins
Iron gate rattles, leaves skitter on the grill
Cooking up trouble, got the whole town chill
Graveyard special, served till the dawn
Blood-orange moon, we'll meet on the lawn
