Story Behind The Song
Well it's really about lyrics that fit the music. I'm developing my own style of halloween songs. They revolve around that border between the cerebral and the insane with humor even, at times. I have a CD entitled Hallowmonium...6 original Halloween Songs on Harmonium. Available for licensing and also on Cdbaby.com.
Song Description
Well the the music had this dysfunctional almost polka, but slower quality and so I started writing absrtact thoughts like, dancing babies, Rumpelstiltskin, trolls under bridges etc. and then, just connected the thoughts until they became a song.

Lyrics
If Rumpelstiltskin had his way, he'd make me suffer every day. I'd walk a tightrope accross the bridge, then kiss the trol under the bridge. Under the Bridge.
Dancing babies one by one; singing, laughing, having fun while Nazis whisper to themselves; drinking beer with Angry elves. Angry elves.
CHORUS: SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE FRANKENSTEIN. I NEED SOMETHING TO CLEAR MY MIND. INFECTED FROM ANOTHER LAND. THESE DREAMS ARE GETTING OUT OF HAND.
Strolling down 5th Avenue I come up to the city zoo with chickens hopping 10 feet tall; Goblins crawling down the wall. Down the wall.
Talking lizard in my fist; drunken little snake around my rist ... billy goat that flies around; has nine legs and makes no sound. No Sound.
CHORUS
I finally disapear from enchanted valley. Then I reapear in a darkened ally. Window open just above my head. Climb into the ball room painted red. Painted red.
House smells like a dead mans tomb. Flowers in the middle of an empty room. Hold onto my pillow filled with snails as I walk through twisted fairy tails. Fairy tails.
Chorus
These nightmares just won't go away. I have one almost every day. I know my shrink is getting rich. I guess my life is just a bitch.
