It starts with a murder, a bath full of blood
A mysterious murder and a criminal plot
And so, the story moves into darker terrain
One man's joy is another man's pain
♪
It started in November as months passed by
Every holiday someone closed their eyes
And the police chased with vigilante help
They wouldn't stop no, until this evil was quelled
And in this merry town, there's a lot of crime around
And he's gonna shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot you down
It's gonna be a long Halloween
♪
Mr. Holiday, would you kindly show your face
'Cause we're really getting tired of, tired of this chase
Oh yeah, tired of this chase
Mr. Holiday please stop these senseless acts
It's the kind of people they attract, like this crazy cat
Oh yeah, like this crazy cat
In this merry town, there's a lot of crime around
And he's gonna shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot you down
It's gonna be a long Halloween
Mr. Holiday your goal to me is clear
And justice running rapid and spreading all its fear
Oh yeah, spreading all its fear
But Mr. Holiday please think of your own mind
Desire is an easy trap, between good and evil kind
And you don't want a fickle mind, oh
