The Gaslight Anthem - Halloween lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Sympathy, this is my best disguise

My skin stepped off and my bones dried up

For the rest of the world outside

You see, you see I read on the side

It's a part time thing, private affair

Trying to keep it out of the light

(Pre-Chorus)

I must confess, I didn't recognize you tonight

Dressed up like my love

(Verse 2)

And I hate these things but I always attend

A little sip of something to take off the edge

I'll make my way to the ghost in the room

Trying to crack a smile, who are you supposed to be?

You look like heaven tonight

Me? I'm an entombed corpse in a suit

Trying to look a little alive

Are you alright? Cause I worry sometimes

Are you dressed up? Take my life!

(Chorus)

Keep it coming

Keep it coming

(Verse 3)

And I think I saw you in a flash in a moment

Broken heart and the body they're holding

I lost your sin in a flash of the party

A beat brought nights, baby, constantly haunting me

I've never been right, have you ever been lied to?

I think I just saw the same scars upon you

Is this a disguise, or a masquerade for me?

(Chorus)

Keep it coming

Keep it coming

(Interlude)

Who are you supposed to be?

Yeah you look just like my love

Who are you supposed to be?

How you dressed just like my love

Who are you supposed to be?

Hey you look just like my love

Who are you supposed to be?

How you dressed just like my love for Halloween
