Alone on Halloween

don't let yourself be seen
 alone on Halloween
 don't let your good sense run astray
 
streetlamps are burning low
there's many a wily foe
who rules the night
and disappears by day
 
            by daylight
            they seek the darkest woods
            or attic loft
            they fly to villages unseen
 
            in the moonlight
            where unsuspecting children
            play alone
            they wait
            for a chance to make you scream
 
don't let yourself be seen
alone on Halloween
they only prey on those who are alone
 
in numbers you are safe
to trick or treat your way
down the rows of dark suburban homes
