it was halloween
kids were walking round
called me on the phone
cuz you were spinning out
maybe someday this hurt will serve you somehow
your ghost came up the stairs
two holes ripped in a sheet
always liked to joke
there was nothing underneath
the rest of that evening played out like a bad dream
danced in a basement that smelled like piss and weed
got home too high to sleep
we'll meet for coffee
at that sandwich place once or twice
then if you could just fade into
the background of my life
so I never actually have to say goodbye
it was halloween
kids were walking round
called me on the phone
cuz you were spinning out
maybe someday this hurt will serve you somehow
