Happy Friday, everyone. I’m looking forward to playing in my ol’ hometown of Houston tonight with Matt the Electrician. We had a good time at Flipnotics @ the Triangle last night.

We both had fresh songs called The Day After Halloween, and I figured I should share my lyrics with you this morning. Maybe I’ll record it someday. Overprotective Mom and Dad were right! Halloween is bad news! Here be the words:

The Day After Halloween

The day after Halloween
I stopped looking pale and mean
I went back to nice and clean
And took out my fake fangs

I’m back at my private school
Popular, smart, and cool
I follow the golden rule
And participate in thangs

But I still suck blood on weekends
When no one else is peekin’
Red is the juice I’m seekin’
That’s my midnight snack
From darkness hear my chortle
I’ve stepped through evil’s portal
Once you go immortal
You never go back

Count Spectacula was my name
Free candy was my only aim
That night it was just a game
Nothing deadly serious

I chewed on a mouse just to see
If I could fill the role more accurately
Something horrible wakened in me
Now I try not to act too mysterious, because…

But I still suck blood on weekends
When no one else is peekin’
Red is the juice I’m seekin’
My midnight snack
From darkness hear my chortle
I stepped through evil’s portal
Once you go immortal
You never go back
It’s not so bad
Don’t you dare judge me
You don’t know me
I just vant to do my thang
Vhat is so funny?
Vhat are you staring at?

Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting.

One clue whose answer consists of two rhyming words:

Sometimes I’ll pinch or poke myself for a little localized pain, then I can’t stop doing it over and over! Like last night, I went on quite a…
