[00:01.05]There's a down town fairy singing out "Proud Mary"
[00:04.06]As she cruises Christopher Street
[00:06.68]And some Southern Queen is acting loud and mean
[00:09.78]Where the docks and the Badlands meet
[00:12.56]This Halloween is something to be sure
[00:18.56]Especially to be here without you
[00:24.03]There's a Greta Garbo and an Alfred Hitchcock
[00:27.27]And some black Jamaican stud
[00:29.78]There's five Cinderellas and some leather drags
[00:32.60]I almost fell into my mug
[00:35.53]There's a Crawford, Davis and a tacky Cary Grant
[00:41.30]And some Homeboys lookin' for trouble down here from the Bronx
[00:47.09]But there ain't no Hairy and no Virgin Mary
[00:50.02]You won't hear those voices again
[00:52.85]And Johnny Rio and Rotten Rita
[00:55.63]You'll never see those faces again
[00:58.51]This Halloween is something to be sure
[01:04.66]Especially to be here without you
[01:10.08]There's the Born Again Losers and the Lavender Boozers
[01:12.83]And some crack team from Washington Heights
[01:15.66]The boys from Avenue B and the girls from Avenue D
[01:18.77]A Tinkerbell in tights
[01:21.29]This celebration somehow gets me down
[01:27.21]Especially when I see you're not around
[01:32.57]There's no Peter Pedantic saying things romantic
[01:35.80]In Latin, Greek or Spic
[01:38.27]There's no Three bananas or Brandy Alexander
[01:41.49]dishing all their tricks
[01:43.90]It's a different feeling that I have today
[01:49.54]Especially when I know you've gone away
[01:55.19]There's a girl from Soho with a teeshirt saying "I Blow"
[01:58.36]She's with the "jive five 2 plus 3"
[02:00.90]And the girls for pay dates are giving cut rates
[02:04.11]Or else doing it for free
[02:06.93]The past keeps knock, knock, knocking on my door
[02:12.52]And I don't want to hear it anymore
[02:17.80]No consolations please for feelin' funky
[02:20.72]I got to get my head above my knees
[02:23.52]But it makes me mad and mad makes me sad
[02:26.68]And then I start to freeze
[02:29.22]In the back of my mind I was afraid it might be true
[02:34.93]In the back of my mind I was afraid that they meant you
[02:42.31]The Halloween Parade
[02:47.74]At the Halloween parade
[02:53.38]At the Halloween parade
[02:58.41]See you next year, at the Halloween parade
