Halloween Parade
It was like someone took a hammer and smashed a jack o' lantern and spread it all over the sky over the Meadowlands
And the swamps
And the smokestacks
And the traffic jams
How I used to hate the city--it was too loud for me!
Needed quiet and serenity, but there I went on Halloween
I was a face in the crowd
Another shadow in a stranger's dream
It was all that I wanted to be
A brigade of ghosts and skeletons creeping towards spectators, a joy I keep close to my chest for later. Replace the snakes squirmin' in my stomach's pit. Live for flashing lights and wonderment
I was a face in the crowd
I was a shadow in a stranger's dream
It was all that I wanted to be
Treat myself gently
Walk invisibly
Let no one know me
It was all I wanted
(I was a face in the crowd)
It was all I wanted on Halloween
(Another shadow in a stranger's dream)
And the swamps
And the smokestacks
And the traffic jams
How I used to hate the city--it was too loud for me!
Needed quiet and serenity, but there I went on Halloween
I was a face in the crowd
Another shadow in a stranger's dream
It was all that I wanted to be
A brigade of ghosts and skeletons creeping towards spectators, a joy I keep close to my chest for later. Replace the snakes squirmin' in my stomach's pit. Live for flashing lights and wonderment
I was a face in the crowd
I was a shadow in a stranger's dream
It was all that I wanted to be
Treat myself gently
Walk invisibly
Let no one know me
It was all I wanted
(I was a face in the crowd)
It was all I wanted on Halloween
(Another shadow in a stranger's dream)
