It's a Dark Night
hot air hangs like a dead man
from a white oak tree
people sitting on porches
thinking how things used to be
dark night
dark night
the neighborhood was changing
strangers moving in
a new boy fell for a local girl
when she made eyes at him
she was young and pretty
no stranger to other men
but doors were being locked at night
old lines were drawn again
I thought things like that
didn't matter anymore
I thought all the blood
had been shed long ago

But yeah, this kinda stuff happens all the time. ...Not the flying seamonkeys, they're new, but weird shit. All of October was fucked, the whole place was like haunted or some shit, and there was a week where a lot of people were just kinda saying whatever was on their mind. Like I said. Weird.
