'Twas Halloween and the ghosts were out
And everywhere they'd go, they'd shout
And though I covered my eyes, I knew
They'd go away
But fear's the only thing I saw
And three days later it was clear to all
That nothing is as scary as election day
But the day after is darker

And darker and darker it goes
Who knows, maybe the plans will change
Who knows, maybe he's not deranged
The newsmen know what they know, but they
Know even less than what they say
And I don't know who I can trust
For they come what may
'Cause we believed in our candidate

But even more it's the one we hate
I needed someone I could shake
On election day
But the day after is darker
Who knows, maybe it's all a dream
Who knows if I'll wake up and scream
