The lyrics say it all - a true story.

lyrics

Ooh... New York... hello... hello... Halloween.

It's the best place and the worst place that you have ever been,
It's all the beauty and the beast that you have ever seen.

There are rocks and those hard places where you live a tortured dream,
then go mining for the fuel of love in never-ending seams.
Behind masks there may be blades, it's a New York Halloween,
dressing up and getting laid and in-between...

It's a New York Halloween... it's a New York Halloween.

Halloween, this is New York, this is New York, it's a New York Halloween.

We hooked-up on Sixth Avenue and Grand, just for a drink,
The photographs all flew away, I fell for you, I think.

In the flesh you were so beautiful and warm, beyond the screen,
I wish that I had slept some more, that my act had been more clean.
There was rain on my parade on this New York Halloween,
like the love we never made... the unforseen.

This is New York Halloween... this is New York Halloween. Halloween, this is New York. This is New York, hello Halloween.

Something beautiful, someone beautiful I've seen, someone beautiful, something beautiful, someone beautiful I've seen... it was like some unrequited dream.

This is New York, this is New York. So beautiful. On this New York, hello, Halloween. Hello, hello. This is New York, this is New York Halloween. Hello, hello Halloween. This this New York, hello, Halloween. Hello Halloween.

This is... this is, this is New York, this is New York, this is, this is Halloween.
