Look around
The world's changing all around
Colors flying
Babies crying
Out of all seasons
This one's my favorite for many reasons
Number one
And then I'll be done
 
Trees swaying
Children playing
Bouncing up and down
I can see the whole town
Breeze is chilly, kissing my cheek
Shivering, I run to the creek
Strands of hair come lose from my bun
And that's when it gets fun
 
Red, orange, yellow
That's when things start to get mellow
Shhhhhhhhhh
Crack!
I turn around and see a pack
It seems like I'm flying
And then I start crying
Blood's dripping everywhere
Looks like the creek doesn't want visitors here
 
Is it me or am I hallucinating
Ghosts are emerging
Zombies are popping from the ground
I fall, waiting to be found
Excitement races through my body
Even though the blood is flowing
Laughter rings throughout my yard
My siblings' plan worked after all
Anger shoots up to my head
All I can see is red
 
Jumping up I face them
Humor isn't in my mind
A rock goes sailing in the air
I can't tell who began the war
But I all I know, is to get revenge
Ahhhhhhhhhhh
My body looks like a bloody mess
I knew I should have played chess
Instead I went outside
Not knowing I might not come back inside
 
Red, blue, white
Lights are flashing
My mother's screaming
Cut!
Oh, how much I love fall
Making movies and all
5 stars
That's what we got
My father loved the movie after all
Maybe we'll make another one next fall
