Jack's Obsession |
| CITIZENS OF HALLOWEEN |
| Something’s up with jack |
| Something’s up with jack |
| Don’t know if we’re ever going to get him back |
| He’s all alone up there |
| Locked away inside |
| Never says a word |
| Hope he hasn’t died |
| Something’s up with jack |
| Something’s up with jack |
| JACK |
| Christmas time is buzzing in my skull |
| Will it let me be? |
| I cannot tell |
| There are so many things I cannot grasp |
| When I think I’ve got it, and then at last |
| Through my bony fingers it does slip |
| Like a snowflake in a fiery grip |
| Something’s here I’m not quite getting |
| Though I try, I keep forgetting |
| Like a memory long since past |
| Here in an instant, gone in a flash |
| What does it mean? |
| What does it mean? |
| In these little bric-a-brac |
| A secret’s waiting to be cracked |
| These dolls and toys confuse me so |
| Confound it all, I love it though |
| Simple objects, nothing more |
| But something’s hidden through a door |
| Though I do not have the key |
| Something’s there I cannot see |
| What does item? |
| What does it mean? |
| What does item? |
| Hmm… |
| I’ve read these Christmas books so many |
| Times |
| I know the stories and I know the rhymes |
| I know the Christmas carols all by heart |
| My skull’s so full, it’s tearing me apart |
| As often as I’ve read them, something’s wrong |
| So hard to put my bony finger on |
| Or perhaps it’s really not as deep |
| As I’ve been led to think |
| Am I trying much too hard? |
| Of course! |
| I’ve been too close to see |
| The answer’s right in front of me |
| Right in front of me |
| It’s simple really, very clear |
| Like music drifting in the air |
| Invisible, but everywhere |
| Just because I cannot see it |
| Doesn’t mean I can’t believe it |
| You know, I think this Christmas thing |
| It’s not as tricky as it seems |
| And why should they have all the fun? |
| Lt should belong to anyone |
| Not anyone, in fact, but me |
| Why, I could make a Christmas tree |
| And there’s no reason I can find |
| I couldn’t handle Christmas time |
| I bet I could improve it too |
| And that’s exactly what l’II do |
| Hee, hee, hee |
| Heureka! |
| I’ve got it |
