The lyrics and performers:
A song about Halloween, war and the loss of innocence.
Last Day of PretendTamra Spivey: vocals
It's getting dark early
autumn is in the air
it's funny how everybody seems
to love a good scare
ferris wheel in the park
unstable table full of food
arcade games and prizes
but nothing can change the mood
cuz James is going off to war
and Pam doesn't understand what for
and Blair can't care anymore
and nothing is like it was before
Jack o'lantern candle glow
dancing on bags of candy
rustling costumes at sundown
dogs barking all over town
last year of pretend
no more paper skeletons
glow in the dark skulls
and sheet ghosts can't threaten
cuz James is going off to war
and Pam doesn't understand what for
and Blair can't care anymore
and nothing is like it was before
and John says Eric's doing crack
but Eric says John is doing smack
and Tara told me she got attacked
and she ain't never coming back
Broken pumpkins and splattered eggs
TP'ed trees under cloudy skies
paper wrappers in the wind whisper when
the last ember dies say your goodbyes~
