lyrics

IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT
TRYING TO GET THROUGH
STRUGGLING TO GET TO YOU

IT'S MISCHIEF NIGHT
THE DEVIL PRANKS YOU
BUT THERE'S WORSE THAT WILL PURSUE

SO YOU RUN WITH YOUR EYES PEELED
COZ SOMEONE JINXED IT
WALK BETWEEN TWO FIRES
HOPE THAT WILL FIX THIS
IT'S MISCHIEF NIGHT
I'VE A NEW SCARY FEELING

THEN YOU LOOK TO THE PAST
WHYLES IN A WIEL IT DIMPL'T
AND IN THE CAKE
THEY FIND THREE TRINKETS
IT'S A GHOULISH NIGHT
I'VE AN UNEASY FEELING

THE TATTIE BOGLE'S IN SIGHT
STRIVING TO REACH YOU
CLAWING TO GET TO YOU

WITH THE HOWLING WE MIGHT
LOOK OWER OUR SHOULDERS
KEEKING FOR DARKLINGS TOO

SO YOU RUN WITH YOUR EYES PEELED
COZ SOMEONE JINXED IT
WALK BETWEEN TWO FIRES
HOPE THAT WILL FIX THIS
IT'S MISCHIEF NIGHT
I'VE A NEW SCARY FEELING

THEN YOU LOOK TO THE PAST
WHYLES IN A WIEL IT DIMPL'T
AND IN THE CAKE
THEY FIND THREE TRINKETS
IT'S A GHOULISH NIGHT
I'VE AN UNEASY FEELING
