On a midwestern highway, hot wind in my hair
Warm smell of old fast food, rising up through the air
Up ahead through the cornfields I saw a few tiny lights
I had a feeling I was getting close to where I'd stop for three nights

Then there stood the pavilion, and I heard somebody swear
And I was thinking to myself I could put all my tombstones--over there
Air compressors were fired up and some grave jumpers made
Everyone is wearing Tshirts that are black and it's 99 in the shade


Welcome to the Fairgrounds in Tell City
Such a lovely place to meet face to face
We got all the rooms in Tell City, Indiana
At this time of year you can find us here


Our minds are definitely twisted, we all have skulls in our cars
We make a lot of wicked little toys, we call ours
Watch Keary dance in the ballroom, while everyone sweats
Some tape to remember, some drink and forget

So I called up the Ironman, I said ''can you repeat this line'?
He said 'There has been an Ironstock here since 1999'.
And still the knock on your door you can hear in your head
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to break your bed.

Welcome to the Fairgrounds in Tell City
Such a lovely place to meet face to face
We got all the rooms in Tell City, Indiana
At this time of year you can find us here

Cobwebs on the ceiling, mixed drinks and beer on ice
And he said 'We are all just gathering here, there's no admission price'
And here at the fairgrounds, where the west meets the east
Halloween lives throughout the year, people just can't kill this beast

Last thing I remember, I was pulling signs off my door
I had to find the highway back to the place I was before
'Relax' said the Vampire 'Just get back to I-64'
'You can drive home any time you like, but you'll come back for more.'
