Blood sprayed across the ticket hall floor
Capes caught and torn in moving rails
Horns and scales and devils’ tails
Make-up smudged some hours before
Biting, fighting, broken jaw
Cuts and slashes, tears and gashes
Blades and bottles, glints and flashes
Of steel, red handprint on the door
Claws and punches, noses broken
Howls and screams and curses spoken
Howling, drooling, fouling, feeding
Spitting out the bones and bleeding
Night Tube staff’s all-night ordeal
Is telling fake wounds from the real
Halloween Underground
