Danny Elfman lyrics : "Jack's Obssesion"

[VAMPIRES]
Something's up with Jack
Something's up with Jack

Don't know if we're ever going to get him back

[WEREWOLF]

He's all alone up there
Locked away inside


[CORPSE MOTHER]
Never says a word


[CORPSE KID]
Hope he hasn't died


[ALL]
Something's up with Jack
Something's up with Jack


[JACK]
Christmas time is buzzing im my skull

Will it let me be? I cannot tell
There are som many things I cannot grasp
When I think I've got, 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 instantm 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
Bout something's hidden through a door
Though I do not have the key

Something's there I cannot see
What does it mean?
What does it mean?

What does it mean?
Hmm...


I've read there Christmas books so many times
I k now 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 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

Is not as tricky as it seems
And why should they have all the fun?
It should belong to anyone


Not anyone, in fact, but me
Whu, 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 I'll do

Hee, hee, hee
Eureka! I've got it
