Must Be Halloween

Tracks

1. It Must Be Halloween 3:15
   
   + Lyrics

   The ghosts of the castle are happy to see me
   It must mean that it’s Halloween
   They take me to where the master’s been sleeping
   Barely containing their shrieks and their screams
   The cobwebs and candles are all so familiar
   Passing by each is like seeing a friend
   The eyes of the portraits that clutter the hallways
   Stare back to say it’s good to see you again

   It must be Halloween, It must be Halloween
   Goblins and witches and zombies and screams
   It must be Halloween, It must be Halloween
   Everything dead here is dancing again

   The ghost of the castle, lead me to the cellar
   Where the master has slept for hundreds of years
   He is the vampire who everyone knows
   The center of all Transylvania’s fears
   I have the honor of waking his slumber
   To make sure he’s ready for Halloween night
   All of the monsters know the best party
   Is here at the castle so stay for a bite

2. Not Your Regular Ghost 3:30
   
   + Lyrics

   I’ve been drifting around and I’m the permanent host
   Tangled in cobwebs like a fly that’s engrossed
   I’ve been haunting for years, so I don’t mean to boast
   If you think you’re scared now, I’m not your regular ghost

   Not trying to scare you baby
   I’ll leave you terrified
   Not trying to scare you baby
   Cause’ I’m the ghost that makes you run and hide

   I’m completely see through and I’m lighter than air
   I appear and surprise you, but then I’m not there
   Did you hear those noises? They’re coming from upstairs
   Try to be brave and pretend you’re not scared
   You can gather your friend, you can search for the clues
   But you’ll fly out the door when I start floating toward you (Boo!)
   Did you hear that whisper? Are you coming unglued?
   Let me rattle these chains, it helps set the mood

   Not trying to scare you baby
   I’ll leave you terrified
   Not trying to scare you baby
   Cause’ I’m the ghost that makes you run and hide

3. Dig Up Some Guests 2:48
   
   + Lyrics

   I’ve talked to Dracula’s friends
   But it’s a really big castle and we’re going to need guests
   To make it more alive, we’re going to fill it with the dead
   It might take a graveyard, but the zombies going to dance

   Dig up some guests for the party
   That’s what Dracula said
   Dig up some guests for the party
   And I’m sure that’s what he meant

   Well I’ve emptied every grave and it’s starting to get late
   It’s time to cast the spells that make the bones shake
   Bring them back to the lab and lay them on the slab
   Next to Frankenstein’s monster, I must be going mad

   Dig up some guests for the party
   That’s what Dracula said
   Dig up some guests for the party
   And I’m sure that’s what he meant
   Dig up some guests for the party
   That’s what Dracula said
   Dig up some guests for the party
   We can dance with the living dead

   With a flip of the switch the monster starts to twitch
   The castle’s going wild, but it goes off without a hitch
   Now that Frankie’s awake, we’ve got to wake his bride
   She’s been the life of the party, ever since that time she died

4. When the Moon is Full 2:18
   
   + Lyrics

   I’m Going (We’re going?)
   I’m in (We’re in!)
   There’s never any parties like this
   It’s going to be so much fun
   We’re going (We’re going)
   We’re in (We’re in)
   Let the seance dance begin
   I’m going to show my moves to everyone

   We begin to dance
   A witch’s heart is cold
   But a spell she chants melts the cold right from her bones
   Now we’re in a trance
   And the mummy moans
   The monsters find romance
   When it’s Halloween and the moon is full

5. Frankenstein’s Lament 4:02
   
   + Lyrics

   Wind me up
   Put me down
   Don’t ask what
   Has me moving around like I’m the one who
   Built this man
   Without a plan
   I watched him stand
   Before the villagers came and tore him apart

   If he had only had a brain
   That was fully functioning
   Maybe he could have explained
   What he was trying to say

   They said I made a monster
   Then they just tore him down
   There is no peace to offer
   When an angry mob comes round
   There was no understanding
   There was no reasoning
   There was only the misbelief
   That they were doing the right thing

   If he had only had a brain
   That was fully functioning
   Maybe he could have explained
   And made them understand

   Poor Frankenstein
   They couldn’t understand his mind
   So he had to die
   Poor Frankenstein

   They said I made a monster
   Then they just tore him down
   There is no peace to offer
   When an angry mob comes round
   There was no understanding
   There was no reasoning
   There was only the misbelief
   That they were doing the right thing

6. Who’s That Knocking at My Door 3:51
   
   + Lyrics

   Who’s that knocking at the door
   The monsters start to arrive and they’re ready for the dance floor
   Who’s that knocking at the door
   It’s Halloween and I keep hearing screams and all I want is to keep on hearing more

   Dracula opens the door to find
   The Wolfman has arrived
   It’s about to get crazy
   With the full moon high
   The zombies are already moving
   To the All Bones Skeleton Band
   We drank what the witches brewed us
   It even made the goblins dance

   Who’s that knocking at the door
   The monsters start to arrive and they’re ready for the dance floor
   Who’s that knocking at the door
   It’s Halloween and I keep hearing screams and all I want is to keep on hearing more

   Here comes Frankenstein’s monster
   And his lovely bride
   The Headless Horseman
   Leave the horse outside
   The Mummy’s got the dance moves
   That everyone has to try
   We’re singing
   And dancing

7. Still Finding Monsters in the Dark 3:31
   
   + Lyrics

   Out in the dead of night
   With our bones so chilled they feel like ice
   Bravery comes from torchlight
   The mob has gathered with their pitchforks and knives
   The full moon shining bright
   Casting the shadows deep
   So they reach into the darkness where our imagination lies

   Still finding monsters in the dark
   Born from the fear that’s in your heart
   They’re not like us, and it’s hard, so we march
   To where the wild things are

   Creeping like cowards do
   Towards our fears
   Gathering the courage of fools
   Dracula and his crew
   They stole bodies of people we never knew
   Too late to think this through

   Still finding monsters in the dark
   Born from the fear that’s in your heart
   They’re not like us, and it’s hard, so we march
   To where the wild things are

8. Things That Go Bump in the Night 3:41
   
   + Lyrics

   When the sun goes down
   Where the fun is found
   Every year we wait for the same night
   Now that it’s finally here
   We have this party every year
   Halloween is more than just a fright

   All the monsters to the dance floor
   It’s Halloween night
   If you know just what to look for
   We are the things that go bump in the night
   All the monsters to the dance floor
   It’s Halloween night
   Trick or treaters knocking at my door
   Looking for things that go bump in the night

   Start my heart again
   This keeps happening
   Frankie’s monster needs another round
   Of voltage to the brain
   Just stand him in the rain
   To catch some of the lightning coming down

   All the monsters to the dance floor
   It’s Halloween night
   If you know just what to look for
   We are the things that go bump in the night
   All the monsters to the dance floor
   It’s Halloween night
   Trick or treaters knocking at my door
   Looking for things that go bump in the night

9. I’ll Tell You When the Mob’s Gone Home 4:06
   
   + Lyrics

   We’ll act like
   There’s no one home
   You hide and I’ll tell you when the mob’s gone
   This must be
   About those bones
   I didn’t know that they were using those
   It could be
   they miss someone
   Why don’t we invite them in to dance or
   We’ll act like
   there’s no one home
   You hide and I’ll tell you when the mob’s gone

   Turn out the lights
   And wait til’ they’re gone
   There’s no way their courage can hold out that long
   Shadows on the wall slip and slide
   Darkest reflections of the torches outside
   Huddled together encased in the light
   Hoping it’s enough to last through the night
   The courage is building the more we hide
   Building a frenzy to come inside

   Come on in
   My new friends
   Here’s a chance to dance with your dead again

10. We Dance With Dracula 3:41
    
    + Lyrics

    At first it seemed it wouldn’t work at all
    A little shaken by the monster ball
    But as the ice began to thaw
    amazed at what they saw

    Have you ever seen a monster dance
    Hypnotic moves will put you in a trance
    Trying not to stare but stealing glances
    We dance with Dracula
    We dance with Dracula
    We dance with Dracula

    It’s something I never thought
    I’d be dancing with Dracula
    It’s something I never thought
    I’d be dancing with Dracula

    He was such a pleasant host
    We even made friends with ghosts
    They promised to put back those bones
    And we’ll do this again next year

    Have you ever seen a monster dance
    Hypnotic moves will put you in a trance
    Trying not to stare but stealing glances
    We dance with Dracula
    We dance with Dracula
    We dance with Dracula

11. Mostly Harmless 4:08
    
    + Lyrics

    Standing face to mask with the ghosts and goblins
    I give them all candy to try to stop them
    They’re gone before I know it I start to scream
    But this is all normal on Halloween

    Hiding in the darkness
    It’s all mostly harmless
    It’s your chance to scream
    It’s Halloween

    We’re scared of the things we don’t understand
    Try to get to know it and this is our chance
    If pretending can make us a little less scared
    Then we all need Halloween

    Hiding in the darkness
    It’s all mostly harmless
    It’s your chance to scream
    It’s Halloween

    The ghosts all come out
    The witching hour is now
    The dead try to shout
    Wolves start to howl
    Everyone needs a little bit of Halloween

    Hiding in the darkness
    It’s all mostly harmless
    It’s your chance to scream
    It’s Halloween
