Jacks Lament Lyrics

There are few who deny

At what I do, I am the best

For my talents are renowned far and wide

When it comes to suprises

In the moonlit night

I excel without ever even trying

With the slightest little effort

Of my ghost-like charm

I have seen grown men give out a shreak

With a wave of my hand

And a well-placed moan

I have swept the very bravest off their feet

But year after year

It's the same routine

And I grow so weary of the sound of screams

And I, Jack,

The pumkin King

Have grown so tired of the same old thing

Chorus:

Oh somewhere deep inside of these bones

An emptiness began to grow

There's something out there far from my home

A longing that I've never knownDanny Elfman - Jacks Lament - http://motolyrics.com/danny-elfman/jacks-lament-lyrics.html

I'm the master of fright

And a demon of light

And I'll scare you right out of your pants

To a guy in Kentucky

I'm Mr. Unlucky

And I'm known throughout England and France

And since I am dead

I can take off my head

To recite Shakespearian quotations

No animal nor man

Can scream like I can

With the fury of my recitations

But who here

Would ever understand

That the Pumkin King with the skeleton grin

Would tire of his crown

If they only understood

He'd give it all up if he only could

Oh there's an empty place in my bones

That calls out for something unknown

The fame and praise come year after year

Does nothing fill these empty tears
