Yellow cab idles on cobblestone street
Fog rolls thick past the driver's seat
Pumpkin grins watch from porch and sill
Night shift waits for the winter chill
Samhain smoke curls round the dashboard light
Meter clicks through witches' midnight flight
Embers die where bonfires burned so bright
Another fare slips into the night
Skeleton fingers tap glass pane slow
Bones rattle soft where the cold winds blow
Take me where the veil grows thin
Before the dawn brings morning in
Samhain smoke curls round the dashboard light
Meter clicks through witches' midnight flight
Embers die where bonfires burned so bright
Another fare slips into the night
Black cat crosses the yellow beam
Green eyes flash in a ghostly dream
Witch on broomstick hails with crooked grin
Drive me past where the dead begin
Radio static speaks in ancient tongues
Old songs rise from forgotten lungs
The meter spins a faster pace
Time runs out in this haunted place
Vampire count counts out exact change
Coins clink cold in the metal range
Drop me at the crypt on Elm
Where the headstones mark the realm
Samhain smoke curls round the dashboard light
Meter clicks through witches' midnight flight
Embers die where bonfires burned so bright
Another fare slips into the night
Gray light creeps down the eastern sky
Last passenger waves a bony goodbye
Ashes cold where the bonfire burned
Another Halloween night returned
Samhain smoke curls round the dashboard light
Meter clicks through witches' midnight flight
Embers die where bonfires burned so bright
Another fare slips into the night
Samhain smoke rises through the dawn's first light
The cab rests quiet till next Halloween night
Engine cools in the morning pale
Till next year's Halloween tale
