Candy Apple Blue - Alice's Last Halloween lyrics

{Verse 1} She looked like an older version of Bette Davis or Liz Taylor Yeah, she could have been a movie star But in this town no one gets too far It was 1982, I was probably seven then We lived in a little town called Monongahela {Chorus} It was Alice's last Halloween I saw the knife and I heard her scream The neighborhood was an angry mob A museum of the macabre Alice's last Halloween A wicked witch with an evil scheme Now the children of the Mon Valley Are haunted by the ghost of Mrs. Crowley {Verse 2} A cold night in late October, carving pumpkins on All Hallows Eve I was dressed as Bozo the Clown Trick or treating as the sun went down She was passing out home baked goods to the children of the neighborhood It was a night that I'll always remember {Chorus} Alice's last Halloween I saw the knife and I heard her scream The neighborhood was an angry mob A museum of the macabre Alice's last Halloween A wicked witch with an evil scheme Now the children of the Mon Valley Are haunted by the ghost of Mrs. Crowley {Verse 3} Found a needle in my candy apple, broken glass in my Hershey's bar My sister Helen found a razor blade in the cookies that Alice made The word spread like wild fire, urban legend turned living hell What exactly happened that night, Alice never lived to tell {Chorus} Alice's last Halloween I saw the knife and I heard her scream The neighborhood was an angry mob A museum of the macabre Alice's last Halloween A wicked witch with an evil scheme Now the children of the Mon Valley Are haunted by the ghost of Mrs. Crowley {Outro} Alice's last Halloween Ghosts and goblins kill the queen Alice's last Halloween Alice's last Halloween
