Halloween is signal I received in France Watching all the traffic going by Your hair is done in sequins you wear leather pants Soldiers at the crossroads wave goodbye And it's already over in October Already Christmas every year Always good to sing when you are sober Always good to wipe away a tear Sometimes I think we'll all go up in smoke Owing that the passage is not clear There is a man who probably will choke On the words that sound so violently sincere And it's already over in October Already Christmas every year Always good to sing when you are sober Always good to wipe away a tear There was a woman wore my ring upon her hand Warning me to judge the way I feel Right on surface of everything I planned She cut to deep to ever really heal And it's already over in October Already Christmas every year Always good to sing when you are sober Always good to wipe away a tear I see you I'll nod to some passing face of God Who never really answer me at prayer The savior is quite odd he prefers the prod His kingdom is near but the thin air
