Fright Night!

I need it bad
I'm crawlin' on the ceilin'
I'm fiendin' for the season again
I witch and moan
Digging up dead bodies
"Get up, it's time to party again!"
Wicked things
Advancing from the shadows
Witches dancing from the gallows
It's been
(Way, way)
Too long since we tasted fear
But it's that time of the year again
At your little slumber party
We'll be moving your Ouija
And flickering your lights
To give you the heebie-jeebies
And if you're babysitting
You can bet that you're gonna see me
'Cause it's Fright Night
And you'll be ghost white
When you see us in the pale moonlight
'Cause we look scary, so scary
And some of us bite
An ugly ghoul
Tell me have you seen her
Try looking in the mirror
Watch out
That zombie wants your brains
Never mind, I think you're safe
You've been
So much less plebeian
Since you got possessed by demons
Get sucked
By a vampire, it's severe
But it's the most affection you will get all year
At your stupid slumber party
We'll be moving your Ouija
A cackle in the dark
That makes you feel uneasy
And if you're trick or treating
You can bet we're gonna steal your candy
'Cause it's Fright Night
And you'll be ghost white
When you see us in the pale moonlight
'Cause we look like we're ready to eat you
And some of us might

Drag

I wake up early, drink a smoothie, take a bath
Muster all the energy that I hath
I put on my blue collar robes
Say bye to the cat
My broom is in the shop, so I take the broom bus
And it's really too short, it can't comfortably fit all of us
But we're all in the same broom boat
So don't make a fuss
I get to work and work, you know, is such a drag
Sometimes it feels like too much for this weary hag
But these dolls ain't gonna curse themselves
So pick up the slack
This is what it's like to be
A witch in '23
Waste my Fine Dark Arts degree
One more year here at the factory
No health insurance, but I need to check these sunspots
And all my wizard dates end early when they find out I have thoughts
My coven's going out tonight, I'm broke so I'm not
Staring at my phone for hours, it's obscene
What's worse is my phone doesn't even have a screen
I think I might have ADHD
Because of my TikTok feed
This is what it's like to be
A witch in '23
Socializing's agony, but I'm also lonely
Witches burned for heresy
Back in 1693
At least they didn't need
SSRIs for their OCD
We're all being burned alive
With lies and all-time highs
The witch keep getting witcher
While I survive on cold brew and girl dinners
It's dire, I don't get enough fiber
You can't lure a child into an air fryer
This is what it's like to be
A witch in '23
Getting Halloween candy with my girlies
Witches hanging from the trees
Swaying gently in the breeze
Enjoying an endless peace
Finally safe from society

Whitney borrowed my pointy black hat
You know the one
It's pointy and it's black
When I asked about it
She seemed indignant, she said
"I already gave it back"
What she doesn't know is
I saw her wearing it
As recently as two moons back
I'll admit it, she looks better in it
But it's mine, I want it back
Classic Whitney
She's such a liar
She's as bad as Sarah Good
Well she can keep it
I won't need it while I'm
Dancing naked in the woods

Fire and Brimstone

We were like fire and brimstone
I was loving you so
Now I'm not
You said I was just a big mistake
Then you burned me at the stake
Well you can rot
Wanted love but got a scandal
Bell, book, and candle
There's the door
And although you've filled my heart with hate
I admit the hex was great
But I need more
There I was
Screaming out in so much pain
The betrayal hurt
But mostly it was the flames
What a fool I was
Could I be any blinder
To think love could exist betwixt
A witch and witch-finder
With just an incantation
I'll bring you to ruination
With just an incantation
I'll bring you to ruination
We were like fire and brimstone
Now we're on a headstone
'Cause you tried to trick me
You said you wanted to date me
Then you incinerate me
That was pretty risky
You're really gonna wish I had died
Now you're on my bad side
I put a curse upon you
I will meddle with your mind
To your body be unkind
My name will haunt you
May every tortilla chip thou eat stab thee in thy gums
May everyone thou know yuck every one of thy yums
May thy cup runneth over as long as it holdeth scalding coffee
May everyone thou kiss henceforth say "Get the fuck off me"
