Song: Run Away!

Run Away! (Douglas Brent Smith)

Don’t go to the basement in your underwear

Maybe you can’t tell but there’s a monster down there

Do yourself a favor and turn on a light

Pay attention if you want to live thru the night

Did you notice that the kitchen knives are missing?

Now is not the time for teen age lover kissing

Did you notice that the lights are blinking?

Why head for the danger? What are you thinking?

(chorus:)

Every scary movie has them: brainless fools

Walking into danger as the monster drools

Zombies and slashers love ‘em, they taste so good

And never do the one thing that they should:

Run away!     Run away!    Are you an idiot?     Run away!

If you’re smart you’ll avoid that cabin in the woods

the one with a history of evil up to no good

If it’s Friday the 13th you might want to stay awake

Dreaming on that night could be a really big mistake  (chorus)

Hang In There

Sometimes we're all a little less secure than we'd like to be.

Song: Jesus Ain't Afraid of Halloween

Jesus Ain’t Afraid of Halloween (Douglas Brent Smith)

        C                       Em                Am                       G

She looked at me sternly with what she had to say 

      C                  Em            Am              G

“We do not celebrate the devil’s holiday”

     F                          G               Em          Am

Believe what you believe but I had to grin

     F                          G               Em          Am      D7       G

I don’t see trick or treat as some kind of sin

C                   Am                      F        G

Jesus ain’t afraid of Halloween

C                        Am                F          G

Pagans can be fun we all agree

F                        G                          C     C/B       Am

dressing up in costumes, why take it seriously?

F                        G                     C

Jesus ain’t afraid of Halloween

  C                    Em                           Am        G

Satan did his best to scare him once

  C                                 Em                Am      G

the devil just turned out to be a dunce

                F                       G

because Jesus doesn’t scare

       C      C/B        Am

his daddy’s everywhere

F                      G                    C

Jesus ain’t afraid of Halloween

C                       Em             Am      G

Witches and goblins are all in jest

C          Em              Am    G

It’s no theological test

 F                  G                    Em          Am

Everybody knows that it’s all pretend

      F                          G                        F  F/E   F/D C

And Jesus has the Holy Ghost as his best friend

Song: Scary Halloween

i went shopping for a pumpkin
ran into a Christmas tree
instead of seeing orange and black
i saw red and green

scary Halloween, scary Halloween
i got stuck in between
Christmas and scary Halloween

i went looking for Frankenstein
and monsters to fill me with fear
but instead i found Santa Claus
and his flying reindeer

scary Halloween, scary Halloween
i got stuck in between
Christmas and scary Halloween

tried to find my favorites at the grocery store
but they're hard to find so tucked away
things aren't where they usually live
everything is there to give
attention to the holiday display

scary Halloween, scary Halloween
i got stuck in between
Christmas and scary Halloween

i don't like to complain too much
but why are we in such a holiday rush?
with so many days between now and then
but here we are counting down the days again

scary Halloween, scary Halloween
i got stuck in between
Christmas and scary Halloween

Real Adventure

I can't perfect the past so I might as well work on the present.
