Penny Fuller - One Hallowe'en lyrics

[EVE] Remember that Halloween when you were nine? You wore a fairy queen costume of your own design (spoken) Well, look at you now (sung) And you put on rouge and lipstick, though it wasn't allowed You were so proud And Daddy said "Wash your face You look like a who*e" That's what he said No more And so you went up stairs Washed your face Took off your dress Threw it away Got into bed As though it were the end of an ordinary day And outside the moon continued to shine Remember that Halloween when you were nine? (spoken) Well, damn you, Daddy! Look at your little girl now! She feels twitchy! And b**hy! And manic! (sung) Calm and collected No sign of panic She's alive, she's alive, so alive! I'm wound up like a spring that's been tightened Dreamy and dizzy, but not a bit frightened I'm alive, I'm alive, so alive! Everybody loves the winner But nobody loves the flop No one worries how you got there Once you're standing on the top So I feel up and together and steady Eager, excited, so come on I'm ready Ready for the climb Baby it's my time You believe it! I'm alive! Alive!
