Lyrics
Narrated by Joshua Pearson.
I still don't know how I even got invited
To this Halloween party in the first place.
Probably just because I was standing right next
To Damien when Sophie talked with him about it,
So she just "graciously" included me in her invitation.
But who guess? Zoe is coming too!
Which is why I'm kinda freaking out right now.
I don't know her very well,
But my guess is she'll take this
Whole dressing up thing very seriously.
So, I can't fuck it up.
She already thinks I'm a dull bore.
Which means a Scream mask or a white sheet with holes in it won't do.
"Are you done with your inner monologuing?"
Hanna quips from behind me
And brings me back to the present.
Embarrased, I nod to show her that I'm with her again.
Hanna is the kindergarten teacher of my two younger siblings
And volunteered to help me when I
Told her about my costume predicament.
She's really good with make up,
Which every kid who ever got to enjoy becoming a
Butterfly or a lion by her hand would testify to.
Together we decided (Well,
Basically she told me what to do and I said yes)
That I would go as a kind of gentleman skeleton.
I think she called it "Dรญas -something something- muertos",
But I'm sticking with the gentleman skeleton.
The good thing is that I can just wear black trousers,
A black shirt and a top hat she borrewed from her brother,
So I don't have to buy a stupid costume I'm never going to wear again.
"We better start with your make up
Or you're not going fashionably late, but just rudely late!"
She bosses me around like she would her kindergarteners
And before I know it I find myself in a chair with closed eyes,
Trying not break into giggles
Because the brushes she uses tickle my skin.
