[00:15.50]There are few who deny,
[00:16.97]At what I do I am the best,
[00:19.45]For my talents are renowned far and wide.
[00:23.76]When it comes to surprises,
[00:26.30]In the moonlit night,
[00:28.20]I excel without ever even trying,
[00:32.49]With the slightest little effort of my ghost-like charms,
[00:36.78]I have seen grown men give out a shriek.
[00:41.22]With a wave of my hand,
[00:43.69]And a well-placed moan,
[00:45.57]I have swept the very bravest off their feet!
[00:49.79]Yet year after year,
[00:52.79]It's the same routine.
[00:55.23]And I grow so weary of the sound of screams.
[01:00.70]And I, Jack, the pumpkin king,
[01:05.40]Have grown so tired of the same old thing…
[01:11.10]
[01:11.79]Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones,
[01:17.99]An emptiness began to grow.
[01:24.40]There's something out there far from my home,
[01:30.32]A longing that I've never known.
[01:38.77]
[01:39.47]I'm the master of fright,
[01:42.10]And a demon of light,
[01:44.13]And I'll scare you right out of your pants.
[01:48.19]To a guy in Kentucky,
[01:50.72]I'm Mister Unlucky.
[01:52.67]And I’m known throughout England and France.
[01:57.60]And since I am dead,
[01:59.80]I can take off my head,
[02:01.39]To recite Shakespearean quotations.
[02:05.88]No animal nor man can SCREAM like I can.
[02:10.00]With the fury of my recitations.
[02:14.71]But who here would ever understand,
[02:19.55]That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin,
[02:24.56]Would tire of his crown.
[02:26.75]If they only understood,
[02:29.94]He'd give it all up if he only could...
[02:36.89]Oh, there's an empty place in my bones,
[02:42.84]That calls out for something unknown.
[02:48.74]The fame and praise come year after year,
[02:55.15]Does nothing for these empty tears.
