Music Monday: Always Halloween by Bohnes

Music Monday is a meme that was created by Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek. Bjørn and I will pick a song alternatively on each Monday and share our thoughts about them. Timy’s pick this week is Always Halloween by Bohnes.

This year I’m picking a lot of songs off of my Sound of Madness Reading Challenge bingo card, but what can I say? I’ve got a good taste 🤷‍♀️ Always Halloween is also one of those songs – mostly because I had no idea what to pick today, but also because I figured since we are in October, and I won’t be picking any more songs this month, there is no better time. Not that it’s an actual Halloween themed song, but… I mean, it still works.

Bohnes is a band that I picked up through some Spotify list or other. They always pop up, but I don’t think I ever paid my full attention to them. Maybe I should rectify that, because I can say that I like at least one of their songs very much.

Palm trees like pumpkin patches
Vampires and fake eyelashes
Too much nose candy for me
Lined up to say “Trick or Treat”
I met a girl from Calabasas
It’s like her face was made of plastic
She had a bag full of drugs
These skeletons want no love

Scared to death of who I’m becoming
Hollywood’s the boogeyman
I know I should be running

Yeah, it’s always Halloween in California
Everybody wears a mask, everyone’s fake
Rollin’ ’round in limousines with some dysmorphia
No, you never really see anyone’s face
It’s the Wild West, don’t say I didn’t warn you
It’s always Halloween in California
In California

Eyes lookin’ like full moons
They’re all drunk on Betelgeuse, yeah
But this ain’t October for me, it’s mid July on the beach
Girls ghost me Malibu
Costumes and bad tattoos
This house is haunted, you see
But I’m too fucked up here to leave

Scared to death of who I’m becoming
Hollywood’s the boogeyman
I know I should be running

Yeah, it’s always Halloween in California
Everybody wears a mask, everyone’s fake
Rollin’ ’round in limousines with some dysmorphia
No, you never really see anyone’s face
It’s the Wild West, don’t say I didn’t warn you
It’s always Halloween in California
In California

Take me away
Know I should go but I just always seem to stay
I drown in the waves
I’m just laying here, a piece of my own grave

Feels like it’s always Halloween in California
Everybody wears a mask, everyone’s fake
Rollin’ ’round in limousines with some dysmorphia
No, you never really see anyone’s face
It’s the Wild West, don’t say I didn’t warn you
It’s always Halloween in California
In California
It’s always Halloween in California
California
It’s always Halloween in California
