Testo Halloween 2009 - Loudon Wainwright III
Testo della canzone Halloween 2009 (Loudon Wainwright III), tratta dall'album Songs For The New Depression
It's that time of year
It's time to make a big scene
Tell me who you're gonna be on Halloween
A witch or a pirate
A gypsy or a clown
How's about a zombie
Fresh out of the ground
For Halloween last year
I was a king
I had a scepter, a crown
Ermine robe, ruby ring
Then in December
Everything tanked
My entire portfolio
And all that I'd banked on
Lost the mansion, the yacht
The wife and the wealth
It all went up in smoke
Including my health
Insurance? Forget it
Lost that with the job
What I need is a gun
Now and a bank I can rob
I was a king
And now my kingdom's destroyed
I'll be Dillinger this year
Or Pretty Boy Floyd
10:31
Time to make a big scene
Tell me who you're gonna be on Halloween
The mummy, the werewolf
How's about Shrek?
Frankenstein's creature
With a bolt in your neck
Maybe this year
I can be a bum
Buddy, spare me a dime
A crust or a crumb
Some smart lucky fat cats
Got out of the jam
Bernie's in prison
But Greenspan's on the lam
My favorite killer
When I was a teen
Was to dress down like a hobo
On Halloween
I'd black out a few teeth
And charcoal in a beard
And pretend to have nothing
Be forgotten and feared
You know a bum is someone
That's not so bad to be
In a sense someone honest
And to some extent free
Carve out a pumpkin
Make a big scene
Who you gonna be on Halloween?
Vampires are sexy
This year they're in
But being the friendly ghost
Ain't no sin
It's trick or treating time
Just as sure as you're born
Kids are gonna want
A lot of candy corn
Boys down on Wall Street
Are up to their tricks
'Cause there's always a way
To put in a fix
Black cats, cobwebs
That's Halloween
Just about time
To make a scary scene
But the scariest monster
Won't be at your door
He's on CNBC
With his real blood and gore
You better turn off that TV
And hide under your bed
It's Mad Money's Jim Cramer
And he's back from the dead
