Happy April Ghoul's Day

[Verse 1]
Black lace curtains
Moonlight laughter in the hall
You left red roses
Spelling “RUN” along my wall
Candy hearts cracked open
All filled up with plastic flies
You said “trust me
Darling”
With graveyard glitter in your eyes
[Chorus]
Happy April Ghoul’s Day
My love
Kisses tasting just like dread
You put rubber spiders in my coffee cup
And whispered “boo” from under the bed
Happy April Ghoul’s Day
My love
Screaming
But I wanna stay
If this is how you prank my heart
Haunt me every April Ghoul’s Day
[Verse 2]
Thorn-crown tiara
You said it suited me just right (just right)
Champagne in a coffin
“Best seat in the house tonight”
You carved our initials
In a heart on the ouija board
Asked the ghosts politely
“Can we keep them
Pretty Lord?”
[Chorus]
Happy April Ghoul’s Day
My love
Kisses tasting just like dread
You put rubber spiders in my coffee cup
And whispered “boo” from under the bed
Happy April Ghoul’s Day
My love
Screaming
But I wanna stay
If this is how you prank my heart
Haunt me every April Ghoul’s Day
[Bridge]
You yell “it’s just a joke”
While the candles flicker green
But every time you scare me
You sew me deeper in the seams
If love’s a wicked trick
Go ahead
I’ll play the fool
Tie my heart with black silk ribbon
Make me yours
Eternal ghoul (hey!)
[Chorus]
Happy April Ghoul’s Day
My love
Kisses tasting just like dread
You put rubber spiders in my coffee cup
And whispered “boo” from under the bed
Happy April Ghoul’s Day
My love
Screaming
But I wanna stay
If this is how you prank my heart
Haunt me every April Ghoul’s Day

rock, Darkly playful gothic rock with male vocals; jangly minor-key guitars over a driving, mid-tempo groove, bass locking in with tight tom-heavy drums. Verses lean on spooky storytelling with reverb-kissed baritone, then chorus jumps into big gang shouts and bright distorted power chords. Occasional organ swells and chiming bells for theatrical flair, ending on a held, eerie chord that lets the vocal hang., happy
