How does a pumpkin know more than I?
When it's friends are here, it learns how to do
With no direction, its face in the ghost
How does a ghost know more than I?

How does the tricky know to hold on
When it's scared of it's shadow and scarecrows are here?
The leaves all lay sleepin', prayin' to hear pumpkin days
How does the tricky know to hold on?

Nobody told me what I should cut
When the face starts to appear and look under you
How does a pumpkin find its way here?
Reach out with no treat to hold
How do I make it scary?

What keeps a treaty runnin' that way?
Is it slave to the scarecrows, a wild runaway?
Does it shed a tear, all who have drowned in its ghosts?
What keeps a treaty runnin' that way?

Nobody told me what I should cut
When the face starts to appear and look under you
How does a pumpkin find its way here?
Reach out with no hand to hold
How do I make it alone?

Nobody told me what I should cut
When the face starts to appear and look under you
How does a pumpkin find its way home?
And I reach out with no hand to hold
How do I make it alone?

How does a scarecrow know more than I?
When it's ghostly is gone, it learns how to trick
