Halloween by Siouxsie and the Banshees Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The night is still
And the frost, it bites my face
I wear my silence like a mask
And murmur like a ghost

[Chorus]
"Trick or treat", "trick or treat"
The bitter and the sweet
"Trick or treat", "trick or treat"
The bitter and the sweet

[Verse 2]
The carefree days are distant now
I wear my memories like a shroud
I try to speak, but words collapse
Echoing, echoing

[Chorus]
"Trick or treat", "trick or treat"
The bitter and the sweet
"Trick or treat", "trick or treat"
The bitter and the sweet
[Post-Chorus]
I wander through your sadness
Gazing at you with scorpion eyes
Halloween, Halloween

[Verse 3]
A sweet reminder in the ice-blue nursery
Of a childish murder of hidden lustre and she cries

[Chorus]
"Trick or treat", "trick or treat"
The bitter and the sweet
"Trick or treat", "trick or treat"
The bitter and the sweet

[Post-Chorus]
I wander through your sadness
Gazing at you with scorpion eyes
Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
