Halloween Songtext
von Jonathan Larson

Hi, is this Alexi?
Hey, Mark Cohen
Yes, I am still alive
Look, uhm, I′d like to come work for you guys
Today, no, I, today's not good
I′m at my friends
20 minutes?
Yeah, yeah, I can make it
Yeah, no, Happy Halloween to you too

How did we get here?
How the hell?
Pan left
Close on the steeple of the church

How did I get here?
How the hell?
Christmas
Christmas Eve last year


How could a night so frozen
Be so scalding hot?
How can a morning this mild
Be so raw?

Why are entire years strewn
On the cutting room floor of memory
When single frames from one magic night
Forever flicker in close-up
On the 3D IMAX of my mind

That's poetic
That's pathetic

Why did Mimi knock on Roger′s door
And Collins choose that phone booth
Back where Angel set up his drums?
Why did Maureen′s equipment break down?
Why am I the witness?
And when I capture it on film
Will it mean that it's the end and I′m alone?

Uh, I took that job at buzzline
