Curse of the Jack-O-Lantern

[Intro: Jamie Madrox]
Go to sleep now
Curse
Curse (Curse, curse)
Curse of the Jack-O-Lantern (Jack-O-Lantern, Jack-O-Lantern)
Curse (Curse, curse)
Curse of the Jack-O-Lantern (Jack-O-Lantern, Jack-O-Lantern)

[Verse 1: Hektic]
Born from seed, entangled in weeds
Something tore me free like a leaf from a tree
What a gory scene I believe and I see
With a pumpkin left where the head used to be
I gotta make it look just like me
Grab a knife and start to carve out teeth
I want the wholе thing to look so pristine
Just start poking where thе eyes should be
I was cursed beneath the dirt
Before I ever had a chance to walk the earth
Think I was born into a place where the witches would embrace
Now I'm tangled in a space where evil lurks
No crying over pumpkin guts
On a porch fake-dying like a corpse and such
Oh, ignore me, go ahead and grab a bunch
What's in store, he never even had a hunch
And then I stabbed the motherfucker in his abdomen

[Chorus: Jamie Madrox & Monoxide]
Silly wicked bloody Jack-O-Lantern he
Died dead center of the pumpkin patch we
Heard him screamin' as he carved 'til he hit bone
He was frozen to the ground, it was so cold
Early Halloween morning when they found him
Thirteen Jack-O-Lanterns surround him
Strange things that go on in this town
No one's really safe when the sun goes down

[Verse 2: The R.O.C.]
In the early morning, dude lays on the doorstep
Ready to paint the canvas on set
Head misshapen, the body looks like a corset
Pinned to the dirt, still feel the frost wet
Time to scream "Geronimo," although
My body's just cargo, also, I know
That one day I will glow, eyes mouth feel so
Incomplete shadows, I'll go free so
Bring the laughter in, I'll begin again
To form a smile, cut like a surgeon
Up and down, grim night’s a curtain
Eyes allowed to scan for what's worse than
The reason I'm all by myself
Yes it's so real, dried out bets in this realm
I have to muster the strength to repel
They will know my pumpkin patch at the helm

[Chorus: Jamie Madrox & Monoxide]
Silly wicked bloody Jack-O-Lantern he
Died dead center of the pumpkin patch we
Heard him screamin' as he carved 'til he hit bone
He was frozen to the ground, it was so cold
Early Halloween morning when they found him
Thirteen Jack-O-Lanterns surround him
Strange things that go on in this town
No one's really safe when the sun goes down

[Verse 3: Mr. Bones]
Jagged eyes and a mouth to match
Awaitin' the great, innocents see a pumpkin patch
Vines dried, and I've become detached
From the others in the birth batch hopin' that I wouldn't hatch
Walkin' on eggshells and thin ice
Like frost over the crops that have to harvest life
Recall it cuts dull like a butter knife
'Til it smears atmosphere to contrast the light
Sting something like a rattlesnake bite
'Til it burns in your blood and you form a dislike
Knife triangle cuts of a heavy hand
Mangled up my flesh just like a madman
Steam from the cuts as they leak out
One for every time that I hurt and I didn't speak out
One for what you said I was worth before I leave now
And every time they tell a story they repeat how

[Bridge: Jamie Madrox]
Dead autumn and the wind's just ghosts
Cemeteries everywhere, death so close
(Curse of the Jack-O-Lantern)
Everywhere, death so close (Curse)
Cemeteries everywhere, death so close
(Curse of the Jack-O-Lantern)
Dead autumn and the wind's just ghosts
Cemeteries everywhere, death so close
(Curse of the Jack-O-Lantern)
Everywhere, death so close (Curse)
Cemeteries everywhere, death so close
(Curse of the Jack-O-Lantern)

[Verse 4: Boondox]
Posted up, I see a lot of shit
All the killing in the field, I see a lot of it
Blood irrigate the soil from the dumping of the dead
Mass murder by a monster with a pumpkin on his head
He's a beast (he's a beast), always ready for a feast
Consuming every soul all while he feed on the deceased
Flesh stuck between his teeth, candle light in both eyes
A demon Jack-O-Lantern turnin' bone to fertilizer
Under the moonlight, sharpening the sight
Reapin' what they sow and when he harvestin' a life
Decapitate and place the severed heads all in a row
Watered by they tears makin' sure they fuckin' grow
Hell and earth, possessed by Mother Nature
Killer from birth, she nurtured him to hate ya
Gourd for a heart, vines runnin' through the veins
Creature of the dark, Samhain be the name

[Chorus: Jamie Madrox & Monoxide]
Silly wicked bloody Jack-O-Lantern he
Died dead center of the pumpkin patch we
Heard him screamin' as he carved 'til he hit bone
He was frozen to the ground, it was so cold
Early Halloween morning when they found him
Thirteen Jack-O-Lanterns surround him
Strange things that go on in this town
No one's really safe when the sun goes down

[Outro: Jamie Madrox & Monoxide]
Silly wicked bloody Jack-O-Lantern he
Died dead center of the pumpkin patch we
(Curse of the Jack-O-Lantern)
Heard him screamin' as he carved 'til he hit bone (Curse)
He was frozen to the ground, it was so cold
(Curse of the Jack-O-Lantern)
Early Halloween morning when they found him (Curse)
Thirteen Jack-O-Lanterns surround him
(Curse of the Jack-O-Lantern)
Strange things that go on in this town (Curse)
No one's really safe when the sun goes down
(Curse of the Jack-O-Lantern)
