| Lyrics: | There's a full moon out By the graveyard tonight Ain’t no soul to be seen And the headstones shift When the raven calls This dark, dark Halloween The vampires stalk a new blood to dine The werewolves howl at the moon When zombies rise, it’s an ominous sign They’ve been waiting for you Run fast, run fast, run as fast if you can There ain’t nowhere to hide The goblins, freaks, ghouls and ghosts Are gonna run with you tonight Their teeth are sharp Their hold is strong Their eyes are glowing red Don’t act scared Cause they’re everywhere Don’t look under your bed Once they surround you, all hope is gone They’ll be no words to speak Don’t get caught alone Cause your flesh and bone Will be their trick or treat Chorus |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
