[INTRO]
Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater…
Had a secret to dark to tell ..
Peter's little secret is
Lying on the floor…
[VERSE 1]
Peter found a pumpkin in a cemetery..
Carved a little smile and it started humming tunes,
But something in the way the pumpkin smiled..
Made him wanna run away.
Peter put the pumpkin on his head and started to dance and chant .
Words no one knew..
Something got inside him that night .
(Let the horror begain.)
[PRE-CHORUS]
Round and round the pumpkin goes,
Nobody knows what Peter knows.
Smile so sweet, eyes so cold,
What's inside that pumpkin hole?
[CHORUS]
Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater,
Had a secret dark and twisted
Took his wife where the shadows sleep,
Made a promise he couldn't keep.
Peter, Peter, tell me why
There's a pumpkin in your eyes.
Something's moving…
Something's is inside
Peter peter pumpkin eater.
His wife is now on the other side.
[VERSE 2]
She found a key beneath the bed,
Found a letter Peter never read,
Three little words scratched in the wall:
“DON'T TRUST PETER.”at all..
She heard footsteps coming closer,
Heard him whisper through the door,
You don't need to run anymore.”
But she knew that voice was different,
Like a stranger wearing his face,
And the pumpkin beneath his eyes
Started to glow.
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
Round and round the pumpkin rolls,
Something's knocking from below.
Peter laughs, the candle blows,
Now she knows what Peter knows.
[CHORUS]
Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater,
Had a secret dark and twisted
Took his wife where the shadows sleep,
Made a promise he couldn't keep.
Peter, Peter, tell me why
There's a pumpkin in your eyes.
Something's moving…
Something's is inside
Peter peter pumpkin eater.
His wife is now on the other side.
[BRIDGE]
[Beat drops.]
Peter…
Peter…
What did you do?
[Silence.]
Peter's look said it all.
[Whisper:]
Run.
[FINAL CHORUS]
Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater,
Had a secret dark and twisted..
Took his wife where the shadows sleep,
Made a promise he couldn't keep.
Peter, Peter, tell me why
There's a pumpkin in your eyes.
Something's moving…
Something's is inside
Peter peter pumpkin eater.
You can't hide what lives inside..
Pumpkin smiling in the night…
Peter's gone.
But the pumpkin remains inside.
[OUTRO]
Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater…
Had a secret ..
Dark and twisted..
Knock… knock…
Who's at the door?
You should run and hide ..
[Whisper:]
Peter isn't here anymore.
