Songfacts®:

  • Guitarist Brent Hinds wrote the lyrics for this song. He told Kerrang! magazine: "It's essentially just me daydreaming about Hallow'en, but I think this song is funny, y'know? Talking about drinking, gasoline and snorting speed – how is that not funny?"

  • Nïk from FranceLyrics are a bit confusing for a non native English speaker!
    Still, they convey lots of Halloween imagery (I could even relate some lines to the legendary Carpenter's film)!
    I'm pretty sure the Prince of Darkness Himself would enjoy those lines ;-)

    The song itself is an absolute (if overlooked) masterpiece to me: many harmonic and rhytmic curiosities within a 70s-ish speed package! Served of course by extremely skilled musicians.

    Masterpiece I'm telling you!
