Jack's Lament Lyrics - Danny Elfman

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 surprises in the moonlit night 

I excel without ever even trying 

With the slightest little effort 

Of my ghostlike charms 

I have seen grown men give a shriek 

With a wave of my hand 

And a well-placed moan 

I have swept the very bravest off their feet 

Yet year after year 

It's the same routine 

And I grow so weary of the sound of screams 

And I Jack the Pumpkin King 

Have grown so tired of the same old thing

NEW SONG: DaBaby - 'Vibez' - LYRICS 

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 ever known 

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 am mister unlucky 

And I'm known throughout England and France 

And since I am dead 

I can take off my head 

To recite Shakespearean quotations 

No animal nor man 

Can scream like I can 

With the fury of my recitations 

But who here would ever understand 

That the Pumpkin 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 for these empty tears
