[Intro: Matt Bellamy]
(Halloween)
(Halloween)
[Verse 1: Matt Bellamy]
You got me checking my mirror
You make me feel like I'm on the run
Where'd you hide the gun?
The kitchen knife in your hand
Are you the poison? Are you the cure?
I'm not so sure
[Pre-Chorus: Matt Bellamy]
I'm shackled, there is no way out
I can't escape
[Chorus: Matt Bellamy]
When you turn out the lights
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
When you skulk 'round the house
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
[Verse 2: Matt Bellamy & Elle Evans]
You cut me off from my friends
You cut me off from my family
I'm in misery (I'm your number one fan)
Each day, I fall to my knees
I see the writing is on the wall
Now I'm in withdrawal
[Pre-Chorus: Matt Bellamy]
I'm shackled, there is no way out
(There is nothing I can do to escape)
I can't escape
[Chorus: Matt Bellamy]
When you turn out the lights
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
The way you skulk 'round the house
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
[Guitar Solo]
[Breakdown: Matt Bellamy]
Ah
[Chorus: Matt Bellamy]
When you turn out the lights
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
When you skulk 'round the house
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
[Chorus: Matt Bellamy]
I see your eye in the keyhole
I feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
Won't rest until I'm possessed
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
[Outro: Vincent Price]
(But you are the caretaker)

I was thinking “[What] if Muse was to do a holiday based song?”, you know, because all of the greatest artists always do a Christmas song at some point […] So we’re looking through all these holidays and thinking like “Come on, Halloween is a little bit underweight here, someone needs to represent H...
