I've always had a fascination with Mr. Thunders. He was such a tortured soul as many artists are. He lived a pretty scary life (much in costume) so that's my Halloween connection. I had some familiar fun at the beginning of the song...
lyrics
Lipstick and hollow eyes
Platform shoes and sequined ties
He likes the candy found on the street
From the scariest ones you meet
Halloween
Candy apples and razor blades
Tricks and treats are tools of the trade
Brown sugar and Chinese rocks
Walking dead on the New York blocks
Halloween
When you saw Johnny on the stage
Like an animal out of its cage
Frankenstein or a New York Doll
Such a shame he could of had it all
