Track Insight / Lyrics
He steers the hack through skeletal trees
Jack-o-lanterns grin on porch decrees
A witch in silk flags down his ride
Black cat arched on shoulder wide
Halloween night on the taxi run
Lanterns bleed in puddles, every one
Cold wind sings through the partition screen
The spookiest fares he's ever seen
Halloween night, the meter spins
Ghosts pay double for original sins
A skeleton pays with bone-white coins
No receipt for these designated zones
Frankenstein's bride adjusts her veil
Checks her reflection, turning pale
Halloween night on the taxi run
Lanterns bleed in puddles, every one
Cold wind sings through the partition screen
The spookiest fares he's ever seen
Halloween night, the meter spins
Ghosts pay double for original sins
Headless horseman holds his pumpkin head
"Take me to Sleepy Hollow," he said
No tip given, just a hollow laugh
Echoes down the autumn path
Halloween night on the taxi run
Lanterns bleed in puddles, every one
Cold wind sings through the partition screen
The spookiest fares he's ever seen
Halloween night, the meter spins
Ghosts pay double for original sins
Vampire count with cape of red
Counts the blocks, counts the dead
"Driver, avoid the garlic stand"
Longest fingers on the hand
Dawn cracks gray on cemetery gates
Last fare vanishes, sealed by fates
Empty seat holds lingering chill
Meter reads zero, standing still
He parks the cab on Maple Street
Wipes the condensation sweet
Another shift, another year
Halloween's the only fear
Halloween night on the taxi run
Lanterns bleed in puddles, every one
Cold wind sings through the partition screen
The spookiest fares he's ever seen
Halloween night, the meter spins
Ghosts pay double for original sins
Halloween night, the meter spins
Ghosts pay double for original sins
Keys turn off, the engine dies
Until next year, the hack replies
