Lyrics

Night before Halloween, the moon hangs low Toilet paper ribbons in the trees below Eggs on the windows, smoke in the air Pumpkins on the pavement, scattered everywhere Matches in my pocket and a grin on my face Devil's in the details and the details in place Hush now, children, light a candle bright We'll walk these streets and call it Angel's Night Porch lights burnin' on every door Neighbors watchin' out like they did before Cider and cookies and a gentle prayer Leave a little kindness hangin' in the air Which side are you on, little lamb Which side are you on, my friend When the clock strikes twelve, we'll see who wins in the end It's Devil's Night (Devil's Night) Tricks in the shadows and the streets alight It's Angel's Night (Angel's Night) Treats on the doorstep, hold your candle tight Ring the doorbell, run and hide Open your heart, let the light inside But the moon's on my side tonight It's Devil's Night I'll hand out candy, I'll sing you a hymn I'll keep the watch 'til the stars go dim Halos of porch light, wings of white Nothin' bad happens on Angel's Night Sweetheart, sweetheart, your candle's thin Wind's pickin' up and it's lettin' me in Your treats are tasty, I'll take 'em all Then I'll paint a pentagram on your garden wall Which side are you on, little lamb Which side are you on, my friend When the clock strikes twelve, we'll see who wins in the end It's Devil's Night (Devil's Night) Tricks in the shadows and the streets alight It's Angel's Night (Angel's Night) Treats on the doorstep, hold your candle tight Ring the doorbell, run and hide Open your heart, let the light inside But the moon's on my side tonight It's Devil's Night Heaven help us, the candles fall Hell's knockin' on every hall I tried to save you, I tried so hard Too late, angel, I'm in your yard My halo's slippin' Your wings are torn Maybe one trick Now a devil's born It's Devil's Night (Devil's Night) Tricks in the shadows and the streets alight It's Devil's Night (Devil's Night) Forget the candles, let the fires ignite Ring the doorbell, run and hide Toss your halo to the side The devil will wins tonight It's Devil's Night Angels sing so sweet and kind But I like tricks better... this time It's Devil's Night
