A Stormtrooper For Halloween




<a href="http://johnanealio.bandcamp.com/album/a-stormtrooper-for-halloween">A Stormtrooper For Halloween by John Anealio</a>


This is a mostly true story about how I dressed up like a Stormtrooper for Halloween when I was 5 years old.

"A Stormtrooper for Halloween" is a pay what you want single (that also includes a solo acoustic version of the song). If you're broke, you can still get it for free. Just click the Buy button on the player above and enter 0. More than anything, I want you to enjoy my music, even if you can't pay. If you can, by all means, throw me a few bucks. :-)

You can also click here for the download: "A Stormtrooper For Halloween"

I hope you enjoy it,

A Stormtrooper For Halloween
by John Anealio

I had an old white shirt and a store-bought mask
and a broken water gun within my grasp
My tattered pants were lined with electrical tape
It was the greatest costume that was ever made

Now I wish I could relive that holiday

When I dressed up like a Stormtrooper for Halloween
My dad was a ghost my friend was Wolverine
And these memories will surely haunt my dreams tonight.

I march down Fleetwood Street in my black rubber boots
We went from door to door collecting our loot
I wouldn't eat the candy in my pillow case
Cause I refused to take the mask off my face

Chorus

Now I'm putting on my mask again
and lacing up my boots
with my son dressed up like Anakin
in his jedi costume.

Chorus
