Halloween (John Peel Session 18.2.81)

The night is still

And the frost it bites my face

I wear my silence like a mask

And murmur like a ghost

"Trick or Treat"

"Trick or Treat"

The bitter and the sweetThe carefree days

Are distant now

I wear my memories like a shroud

I try to speak but words collapse

Echoing

"Trick or Treat"

"Trick or Treat"

The bitter and the sweetI wander though your sadness

Gazing at you with scorpion eyes

Halloween......HalloweenA sweet reminder

In the ice-blue nursery

Of a childish murder

Of hidden luster

And she cries

"Trick or Treat"

"Trick or Treat"

The bitter and the sweet
