Following You Home

Clink clank clink clank clink clank slow steady pace, metal hitting pavement pausing when you pause following you home, the man is bones and a tie, top hat, tails, not tap shoes more like chains, the sound a horseshoe makes when it hits the stake, clink clank what does he want, why follow you home? His teeth gleam of green fire, his hands haloed by electric blue, he's a Halloween special turned out just for you, clink clank he wants to touch you, better run His eyes are on fire, he's spewing smoke from his nostrils, there's no place to hide clink clank is faster clank clank clank has your breath caught in chest yet? When he touches you, you'll melt, one touch you're on fire, one scream from your mouth brings no one out to save you from his wrath clink clink better speed clink clink nearer ever nearer Is it candy that fuels him? Toss a Mars Bar or two, toss the whole pillow sack, watch it burst in flame there's a door if you can reach it, just up the hill huff puff clink clank, there's a door with a wreath Flowers black as coal, it opens a bit, precious light spews forth, saying welcome your welcome if only you can outrun him, outrun the bone man the man with top hat clink clank clink clink after you The door widens, your belly hurts, beneath your mask you drip sweat, and just as you reach it, hiss, pain, flame on your back and from the door, bone man exits clink clank Two bone men, will take you to the fire two bone men, don't want your scary mask, the candy you can keep, your tears mustn't weep just pass over the pumpkin, they'll be gone from sight. Clink Clank, phew, bone men, toting pumpkin, lit from within, their hands holding it, opposite twins clink clank, they are going, going kabooom straight into the air, and off to far off moon, phew.
