You're laying waste to Halloween

You fucked it friend, it's on its head, it struck the street

You're in Milwaukee, off your feet

And at once I knew

I was not magnificent

Strayed above the highway aisle

Jagged vacance, thick with ice

I could see for miles, miles, miles

Third and lake, it burnt away, the hallway

Was where we learned to celebrate

Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me

That night you played me Lip Parade

Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree

Saying nothing, that's enough for me

And at once I knew I was not magnificent

Hauled far from the highway

Jagged, vacant, thick with ice

I could see for miles, miles, miles

Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright

Above my brother, I and tangled spines

We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be

Now to know it in my memory

And at once I knew I was not magnificent

High above the highway

Jagged vacance, thick with ice

I could see for miles, miles, miles
