“The Mortuary Ball (See You in My Dreams Tonight)”, performed by members of The Mortuary House Band while an inquisitive trick-or-treater helps himself to a donut flavored cider.
Thank you to:
John Rizzo for his force ghost-esque filming guidance.
Harmony Cat for keeping me company on set.
Alex Floyd for lending me his melodic acoustic guitar skills (from the original 2020 version) and his additional wall crumbling lead guitar parts this time around!

I met a girl
With spiders in her hair
She wore a diamond
And her dress went down to there
The darkness doubled
As I asked her for her hand
She levitated
But I said I’d rather stand
She
Just held on tightly
She wants to trick or treat
To say politely
B1 -
And now the writings on the wall
(See you in my dreams tonight)
Here at the mortuary ball
(See you in my dreams to-)
I don’t think I’ll ever be the same again
The party’s just beginning
But I’m already spinning
Towards the end
A2 -
Apparitions and provisions
Were in great supply
Funeral March was playing
And we almost felt alive
Wade through her cobwebs
As we danced into the night
I fell in love with
My specter socialite
She
Held on tightly
She wants to trick or treat
To say politely
B2 -
The writings on the wall
(See you in my dreams tonight)
Here at the mortuary ball
(See you in my dreams to-)
And I don’t think I’ll ever be the same again
The party’s just beginning
But I’m already spinning
For the end
C1 -
Come alive
Come alive
To the sound of the wind
Make a choice
With the voice
You’ve kept silent so long
Stop and stare
See her there
in the waning moonlight
That girl
With the spider hair’s alright
