lyrics

Born On Halloween
(And You Know Just What That Means!)

Well, she was born on Halloween
And you know just what that means
Candy-coated kisses sweet
Were never what they seemed

She was only seventeen
When she crashed into my dream
Black cat hair
Was black cat black,
Her eyes
Were black-cat green and gold

Sometimes I think I see her face
In the glass behind the lace
When the moon glides by
Through the midnight sky
She disappears without a trace

Why she left
I don’t know why
I paint her name
On the starry sky
I even wrote love-letters 
In an alphabet of sighs

I guess you heard the news
I got no muse
Just the working class blues
And worn-out shoes
Well, whadya do?
This ain't nothing new
Just a dampened fuse
And a few loose screws
Love is dead
Just like my momma said
Just like my momma said
I guess it's time for bed
So turn your radio down

But I know I'm in love
I know I'm in love

She was born on Halloween
Now you know
Just what that means
Candy-coated kisses sweet,
Glossy as a magazine
Sometimes I hear her call my name
Smell her fragrance in the rain
I’ve plumbed the very depths
Of love
Walked the precipice insane

The Declaration
Of Iridescence

I pledge allegiance
To the Muse
Who shines
From the blue vault
Of Eternity,
And to the Transcendence
Which she bestows:
One Army,
Sworn to love,
With poetry
And freedom
For all.
