What are those footsteps behind you? What creature lives under your bed? A ghoul or a creep And it comes when you sleep The chill when you wake up the dead What is that howl from the woods? The shadows that lurk on the ground? It's much too late Just to make your escape Can't fight it You can't stop it now Your heart pounds Don't turn around All the ghosts are out See them dance around Through the streets And all over town Oh today's the day They come out to play Don't try to run You can't get away So lock up yours doors And don't go outside My darling, there's nowhere to hide Every scream and cry Feeds their appetite All because There's a full moon A full moon Tonight Warlocks And wizards And witches The goblins and reapers come out They're here to stay No they won't go away The undead Can party all night All the ghosts are out See them dance around Through the streets And all over town Oh today's the day They come out to play Don't try to run You can't get away So lock up yours doors And don't go outside My darling, there's nowhere to hide Every scream and cry Feeds their appetite All because There's a full moon A full moon Tonight there's no rest for the wicked The halloween dance of the dead It's the party from hell And you're under their spell Be careful And don't lose your head All the ghosts are out See them dance around Through the streets And all over town Oh today's the day They come out to play Don't try to run You can't get away So lock up yours doors And don't go outside My darling, there's nowhere to hide Every scream and cry Feeds their appetite All because there's a full moon A full moon tonight All because there's a full moon A full moon tonight
