[00:06.89]圣誕夜驚魂電影原聲
[00:09.24]Performed by Jack
[00:10.64]
[00:14.16]There are few who'd deny
[00:15.85]At what I do I am the best
[00:18.26]For my talents are renowned far and wide
[00:22.73]When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night
[00:26.99]I excel without ever even trying
[00:31.40]With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms
[00:35.70]I have seen grown men give out a shriek
[00:40.03]With the wave of my hand, and a well-placed moan
[00:44.46]I have swept the very bravest off their feet
[00:47.75]
[00:48.83]Yet year after year, it's the same routine
[00:54.23]And I grow so weary of the sound of screams
[00:59.23]And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King
[01:04.29]Have grown so tired of the same old thing
[01:10.27]
[01:12.98]Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones
[01:18.97]An emptiness began to grow
[01:25.18]There's something out there, far from my home
[01:31.17]A longing that I've never known
[01:39.53]
[01:41.06]I'm a master of fright, and a demon of light
[01:45.45]And I'll scare you right out of your pants
[01:49.64]To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister Unlucky
[01:54.09]And I'm known throughout England and France
[01:57.29]
[01:58.32]And since I am dead, I can take off my head
[02:02.52]To recite Shakespearean quotations
[02:07.06]No animal nor man can scream like I can
[02:11.38]With the fury of my recitations
[02:15.49]
[02:15.91]But who here would ever understand
[02:21.10]That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin
[02:26.24]Would tire of his crown, if they only understood
[02:31.49]He'd give it all up if he only could
[02:37.19]
[02:38.97]Oh, there's an empty place in my bones
[02:44.98]That calls out for something unknown
[02:51.08]The fame and praise come year after year
[02:57.21]Does nothing for these empty tears
