LYRICS
Is it giving you a terrible fright
Ohhhh…. the things that go bump in the night
Is it making you all uptight
Ohhhh…. the things that go bump in the night
In the meantime, gonna wean
All the children on Halloween

Are worried if you’ll be alright
Ohhhh…. the things that go bump in the night
Have ya ever seen such a gruesome sight
Ohhhh…. the things that go bump in the night
In the meantime, gonna wean
All the children on Halloween

Can you hide out of sight
Ohhhh…. the things that go bump in the night
Is it a matter of flight of fight
Ohhhh…. the things that go bump in the night
In the meantime, gonna wean
All the children on Halloween

Sure hope its bark is worse than its bite
Ohhhh…. the things that go bump in the night
In the darkness, can’t wait for the light
Ohhhh…. the things that go bump in the night
In the meantime, gonna wean
All the children on Halloween

LYRICS
Is that what you really wanted to happen
It’s a given…
She’ll make you cry
Is this what you really thought was heaven
Dante’s oven…
You’re gonna fry

You’re gonna fry
When you die
When you die

Do you know
Is this where you wanted to go
Do you care
That you’re already there
Sitting in your holding cell
Waiting at the gates of hell
Waiting at the gates of hell
Or can’t you tell?

Reaper’s Scythe

Posted on October 22, 2016October 22, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
Was it Job or Leviticus
That said God’ld cut us to the quick
Perhaps it’s time to cry n’ fuss
Squeeze the puss… scream and kick

The Reaper’s sickle
Reaping quicker
Isn’t that fickle
Ripping quicker, quicker
Ripping sicker quicker

Was it Moses or Jesus
That said God’ld cut us to the quick
Perhaps it’s time for all of us
To refuse to be then next brick
And it’s just as well
If you cast the spell
Upon you
The spawn of demon’s hell
Angels fell
’cause of you

Witch

Posted on January 6, 2016January 6, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
Out of the shadows from which you loom
Get on your broom
And, ride
Ride high across the sky

The darkness
That is
All you were
All that was
Turns to blur
Out of the shadows from which you loom
Get on your broom
And, ride
Ride high across the sky

You make me itch
You witch
Eye of newt
Wart of toad
Moral/ethical overload

When I look out my window
Many sights to see
And when I look in my window
So many different people to be
That it’s strange
So strange

You got to pick up every stitch
Mmmm, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch, yeah

Some other cat lookin’ over
His shoulder at me
And he’s strange
Sure is strange

Peek Pique

Posted on October 29, 2014October 31, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
I hear strange noises outside my door
Shall I crack and peek… see what’s in store?
Pique my curiosity
I’ve just gotta see

On the peak of a precipice
A recipe for prevalence
Of intelligence
The need to know
Know not a single no
Untangle the knot in your mind
Then it’ll surface… how to be kind

Autumn Twilight

Posted on October 29, 2014October 29, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
In the Fall, before the leaves fall
Hard to believe it’s the color of dying
All in all, could be a good call
Relieves and re-lives in the Spring
Funny thing… once you gain understanding
The color of the foliage and old age
Takes on a whole new meaning

Orange, red, golden brown
Flying in the wind… falling down
Aren’t you dancing with delight
In the Autumn twilight

Starlight, star bright… first star I see tonight
Or are you a planet
Venus, Mercury or Mars?
Thought jars… light traveled so far

Orange, red, golden brown
Flying in the wind… falling down
Aren’t you dancing with delight
In the Autumn twilight

LYRICS
French police warn about scary clowns
Earlier this month in the US, there were several reports of scary clowns in California, Florida …

In France, police say groups are organising online to track down the clowns and they’re taking the matter very seriously. “Anyone, aggressive clowns or clown hunters, found in possession of a weapon in a public place will be arrested and can be held in police custody,” said a police statement. They’ve urged the public to stop spreading rumours online and have issued information on how to send an alert about an aggressive clown.
— BBC

Aggressive clown or clown hunter
You’re going down
Stumble blunder
Be the brunt of the clown

In France, the latest dance
Werewolves Of London
London Bridge undone
Falling down
The brunt of the clown

London bridge is falling down
My fair lady
That clown looks shady
I ain’t clowin’ around

The Mask

Posted on October 27, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
If you’ve got the stranger-danger
The task — wear the mask

Chorus
Sit on back and relax
Once you’re behind the mask
Let it bask
Behind the mask

If you are a too shy guy
Just put on the mask
As in a Halloween scene
In your role you’re cast

Chorus

Inside out without a doubt
Just put on the mask
Iron Man the man of irony
The character they see

Chorus

Super Matt can fly through the sky
Once behind the mask
Nothing is too hard if you try
Power of the mask

Chorus

You can be your own superhero
Just create a mask
Go to 160 (MPH) from zero
Once behind the mask

Chorus

Written and recorded in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, USA

I started writing the song on a Saturday while sitting on the wall of the old courthouse. A youngster came up to the statue wearing an Iron Man costume. When I asked him what the costume was, he wouldn’t reply. His mother said, “He has stranger danger.” So, I started thinking about the power of wearing a mask. The next day I was finishing the song and a youngster came up to the statue wearing a mask and a cape with a big “M” on it. I asked him what the costume was, and he was too shy to reply. His father said, “Super Matt. His name is Mathew.” Then, he picked his son up over his head and started flying him around. Let your true nature be seen when you’re behind a mask.

Happy Holiday

Posted on October 2, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
when you’re looking at me, I wonder what you see
Do you see clearly or do you see right through me?

Chorus
The fox is in the hen house
The wolf in sheep clothes
Like the night before Christmas… quite as a mouse
Or Halloween… when the dead rose

When you’re thinkin’ ’bout me, I wonder what you know
Do you think clearly? Is that not Possible? No?

Chorus

Happy holiday
World peace is on the way
Happy holiday
A resurrection foray

Black Cat

Posted on September 25, 2014October 2, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Scary sorcery
Amen or omen
Evil demon
Or getting lucky
Nose twitches
Familiar with witches

The crossing of a path
God’s wrath
Is left to right alright
Scottish or pettish
Celtic mythology
Fairly fairy genealogy
Death by misfortune
Granting favorable times
The stuff of nursery rhymes

Specifically suspected
At the black cat
Omen
Amen

Black Cat.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Em Esus
Dm Em

Serenade / 94 BPM

Written and recorded live in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, USA. Video features a black cat.

The folklore surrounding black cats varies from culture to culture. The Scottish believe that a strange black cat’s arrival to the home signifies prosperity. In Celtic mythology, a fairy known as the Cat Sìth takes the form of a black cat. Black cats are also considered good luck in Japan. Furthermore, it is believed that a lady who owns a black cat will have many suitors. However, in Western history, black cats have often been looked upon as a symbol of evil omens, specifically being suspected of being the familiars of witches, and so most of Europe considers the black cat a symbol of bad luck, especially if one crosses paths with a person, which is believed to be an omen of misfortune and death. In Germany, some believe that black cats crossing a person’s path from right to left, is a bad omen. But from left to right, the cat is granting favorable times.

The black cat in folklore has been able to change into human shape to act as a spy or courier for witches or demons. When the Pilgrims arrived at Plymouth Rock, they brought with them a devout faith in the Bible. They also brought a deepening suspicion of anything deemed of the devil and were a deeply suspicious group. They viewed the black cat as a companion, or a familiar to witches. Anyone caught with a black cat would be severely punished or even killed. They viewed the black cat as part demon and part sorcery. — Wikipedia

LYRICS
Looks like the rule of the sun is done
After all, it’s turning into fall
There’ll be more darkness than light
Looks like the day is ruled by the night

It won’t be long now ’till the Harvest Fest
On the raised praise may we digest

Dear you hear them warn of a winter storm
Said to feature a severe Nor’easter
I’d hat for us to miss this Christmas
Not to get remiss until Easter
The presence of your presence the present
It’s all that need be sent

Did you hear them warn of a global warn
Growing faster — extreme weather disaster

It won’t be long now. All to the Harvest Festival
On the raised praise. Celestial.

LYRICS
Did that tree just try to kill me?

Many dead… mostly from trees.

Geeze.. giving them disease… creatin a deadly breeze.

Using limb to clobber him from limb to limb
Crushing homes and transportation
Because of our past deviation violation

The fall of the trees
Due to the human disease
The revenge of the woods
Due to too many would-of’s, could-of’s and shoulds
Due to too many wood-of shoulds
