[00:16.45]There are few who'd deny
[00:18.20]At what I do I am the best
[00:20.63]For my talents are renowned far and wide
[00:24.54]
[00:25.09]When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night
[00:29.52]I excel without ever even trying
[00:33.76]With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms
[00:38.07]I have seen grown men give out a shriek
[00:42.50]With the wave of my hand' and a well-placed moan
[00:46.68]I have swept the very bravest off their feet
[00:51.50]Yet year after year' it's the same routine
[00:56.49]And I grow so weary of the sound of screams
[01:01.36]And I' Jack' the Pumpkin King
[01:06.54]Have grown so tired of the same old thing
[01:12.97]Oh' somewhere deep inside of these bones
[01:19.15]An emptiness began to grow
[01:25.39]There's something out there' far from my home
[01:31.57]A longing that I've never known
[01:40.87]I'm a master of fright' and a demon of light
[01:45.36]And I'll scare you right out of your pants
[01:49.51]To a guy in Kentucky' I'm Mister Unlucky
[01:54.03]And I'm known throughout England and France
[01:58.52]And since I am dead' I can take off my head
[02:02.51]To recite Shakespearean quotations
[02:07.38]No animal nor man can scream like I can
[02:11.44]With the fury of my recitations
[02:15.99]But who here would ever understand
[02:20.86]That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin
[02:26.04]Would tire of his crown' if they only understood
[02:31.22]He'd give it all up if he only could
[02:37.84]Oh' there's an empty place in my bones
[02:44.21]That calls out for something unknown
[02:50.42]The fame and praise come year after year
[02:56.22]Does nothing for these empty tears
