...hate the kids who come trick-or-treating to our house, some of whom might almost be considered cute, even if most of the ones over 8 are running a protection racket. And I don't hate the candymakers, the greeting-card printers or the manufacturers--somewhere in Guangdong Province, China, I guess--who turn out all those disgusting plastic decorations that are beginning to disfigure suburbia and who, together, have turned an innocent night of excitement for children into something run by and for adults. Those in the Halloween industry are simply behaving as good capitalists should, following...

Over the top of it all is Casablancas, going on about a relationship, of course. He sings: "I don't want to change your mind/ I don't want to change...
...wishes to bathe in a pond. Adopting a silly, girlish pose and sprouting long eyelashes he says, "I don't want you to see me naked. Pray, won't you go?" Some of the oddity may be attributable to the translation, which puts modern vernacular ("It ain't no trick dude!") in the context of ancient India.
