[Verse 1]
Now, everybody tells me you're the dog's best friend
I'm the cat's meow since- I don't know when
I'm an instigator from a dead man's town
So when did the whole world turn upside down?
When did you change your mind?
When did you lose the juice?
Now, where did you get your attitude?
When did you give it away?
What did the old man say?
And how many babies did you kick today?
Now, how many nights can the full moon shine?
How many bottles of water can you turn to wine?
When the blood has flowed, against the tides of time
And the water flows forever
Hey, hey, hey!
[Verse 2]
Now, I'm gonna' build a boat
I'm gonna make it float
'Cause I'm gettin' the chase for a faraway place
Gonna' set the sail
Gonna' catch some wind
And the big red sky's gonna be my only friend
With a boat for two
Just me and you
You can be my teacher
I can teach you, too
Gonna' try a few things that I've never done
Maybe talk to the fishies
Maybe have some fun
Maybe shake my pale fist at the angry stars
While I dance a jig under the eyes of Mars
When we get to an island where no one's ever been
We can get down and dirty in our animal skins
And I'll stand with my thing hanging out in the wind
Where the water's sweet like honey
Hey-hey yeah, hey-hey, yeah-yeah!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I've been feeling a chill from the East wind blue
It's been creeping up slow
Have you felt it, too?
Have you noticed the look?
Have you felt the feel?
Did it make you blush when the piggy squealed?
Have you heard what they said?
Did you read the news?
Said the old man's coming home a-singing the blues
Gonna' whack your fanny
Gonna' tan your hide
Make your ears turn red
And make you gonna' cry
Now, how many children gonna lose their minds?
How many crying girls will be left behind?
[Bridge]
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
When the dead start walking and the full moon shines
When the dead start walking, yeah!
[Verse 4]
Now, everybody sing to the heavens above
And everybody dance to the sounds of love
Won't you clack your teeth?
Won't you smack your hands?
Won't you dig your little heads right out of the sand?
Won't you jiggle your butt?
Won't you wave your arms?
Won't you look like you just came off of the farm?
Won't you stop your fighting for a second or two?
Won't you help your neighbors?
Won't you do what you do?
Won't you taste the sugar?
Won’t you eat the cake?
Won't you get your ugly mug right out of my face?
Won't you tell your brothers and your sisters, tonight?
That you tasted the water, and the water was right!
Won't you taste the sugar?
Won’t you dance the dance?
Won't you wake up, please?
Come on out of your trance!
[Outro]
Everybody make-believe that you disappeared
For a second or two;
Gonna' feel so queer
And you left behind all the rage and fear
And it made you feel like
Water
[Spoken: Danny Elfman]
Oh, yeah, I almost forgot
Happy Halloween
