Full Moon In October

from Creature Feature (album) by The Goths

/

about

Full Moon In October dates from 1989, materializing out of the wolf man idiom and to some extent following the werewolf legend yet entertaining a somewhat irreverent sense of humor. The creative impulse arose from viewing a full moon one October night, which then became the title. Lyrics were playfully built around this, using a loose werewolf theme. With no specific literary or cinematic signpost, Full Moon In October isn't so much a story as a comic snapshot of life as the wolf man.

lyrics

It’s a Full Moon in October
And the wolf is on the prowl
To engage in mortal blood-lust
May he find another hound
The wolf’s becoming hairy
He's in the cemetery
Down at the monastery
He’d like a Bloody Mary
The dream keeps on recurring
When the sun settles down
A victim will be bitten
Before the moon has done its round
He’s a misanthropic lycanthrope
Six hundred and sixty six
Transit Transylvania
The beast is gonna mix
The wolf’s becoming hairy
He’s in the cemetery
Down at the monastery
He’d like a Bloody Mary
But Mary’s very wary as
Circumstances varied
And answered any query
He's on the howl again
