"Halloween" lyrics

"Halloween"

Yow!
Oh

So, it's Halloween
And you feel like dancin'
And you feel like shinin'
And you feel like letting loose
But what ya gonna be?
Babe, you better know
And you better plan
Better plan all day

Better plan all week
Better plan all month
Better plan all year

You're dressed up like a clown
Putting on your act
It's the only time all year
You'll ever admit that

I can see your eyes
I can see your brain
Baby, nothing's changed
I can see your eyes
I can see your brain
Baby, nothing's changed

Because you're hiding in a mask
You take your fun seriously
No, don't blow this year's chance
Tomorrow, your mold goes back on

After Halloween
After Halloween

Whee!

You go to work today
You'll go to work tomorrow
Shit-faced tonight
You'll brag about it for months:

"Remember what I did?
Remember what I was
Back on Halloween?"

But what's in-between?
Where are your ideas?
You sit around and dream
For next Halloween

Why not every day?
Are you so afraid?
What will people say?
Why not every day?
Are you so afraid?
What will people say

After Halloween?
After Halloween?
After Halloween?

Because your role is planned for you
There's nothing you can do
But stop and think it through
But what will the boss say to you?

And what will your girlfriend say to you?
And the people out on the street
They might glare at you
And what do you know?
You're pretty self-conscious, too
So, you run back and stuff yourselves
In rigid business costumes
Only at night to score
Is your leather uniform exhumed

Why don't you take your social regulations
Shove 'em up your ass?
Why don't you take your social regulations
Shove 'em up your ass?
Why don't you take your social regulations
And shove 'em up your ass?
