"Scare Me" lyrics

"Scare Me"

There's a spooky breeze breathin' from the church yard
Shiver me
The sky is dreadfully orange
We step into the street under the rind between the spider webs
K-k-k-killer silhouettes
Carvin' teeth into the pumpkin sunset

Gnashin' plastic fangs castin' shadows
Faces covered in rubber
Freaky, beastly treat-eating creatures are coming door to door tonight
Light me up from the inside
Scare it up
But beware this area
(There could be actual vampires around here)

Scare me
Scare away
I've never been much for this world anyway
Through the creaking gates
Someone knock on the door, oh

See the ouija moon beamin' through blackened canopies
Screamin' bats in between 'em
Demon season, twitchin' mischievous
It's gettin' witchy
(There's a kind of lupine howling in the distance)
Pray now, god save the misfits!

Scare me
Scare away
I've never been much for this world anyway
Through the creaking gates
Someone knock on the door, oh oh

In slips the mist
Your eyes are playin' tricks
Feel the shapes in the dark start to rise
(IT'S ALIVE!)
Some effervescently sinister energy
Suddenly bubbling posthumous
(Somebody's watching us)

Who?
Crack!
[*rustle*]
"Shh!"
MYOW!
No turning back now!

Scare me
Scare away
I've never been much for this world anyway
Through the creaking gates
Someone knock on the door, oh oh
Scare me
Scare away
Bring me the hallows and the hell they raise
Through the creaking gates
Someone knock on the door, oh oh

Don't walk past that old dark house, they say
Don't walk past that old dark house, they say
Don't walk past that old dark house
You wanna go knock on the door?

Jump that fence, go up those steps, just gotta
Jump that fence, go up those steps, you wanna
Jump over the fence then it's right up the steps

Now hold your breath and cross the porch
Knock right on the door
Just hold your breath and cross the porch
Knock right on the door
But see there's something locked inside no one noticed before
Yeah, see there's something locked inside no one noticed before

I see it!
Claws! Knives! Bloody eyes!
Everyone run for your lives!

Run! Now! Go! Run home!
Stop!
No! Go!
What?!
I don't know!
Blood!
Ghost!
AAHHH!
Shut up and run home!
Wish I brought a crossbow!
WHAT?!
Or holy water!
God! Just run! Now!
Just get there! Run!
Let's go! Go! Just go!

Scare me
Scare away
I've never been much for this world anyway
Through the creaking gates
Someone knock on the door, oh oh
Scare me
Scare away
Bring me the hallows and the hell they raise
Through the creaking gates
Someone knock on the door, oh oh
