lyrics

pumpkin carving the kids are starving out in the street
give them candy that would be dandy though it might be too sweet
give them liquor it kills em quicker and their maker they might meet
now would that be a trick or would that be a treat?

the police station has been abandoned for the new year
and all the people go on like before just living in fear
church was empty there was nobody there
my heart was heavy the walls were stripped bare
the cross hung crooked on a length of wire
somebody had set it on fire

when appeared John the Baptist with the head of a ram
who turned into a vagrant with a gasoline can
I ran screaming, "make straight the road!"
the rams head caught fire and it did explode
these strange forebodings don't sit with me well
twas on a night quite like this when an angel first fell
straight down from heaven and into hell...
