Lyrics

There are few who'd 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 excell without ever even trying


With the slightest little effort of my ghost-like charms

I have seen grown men give out a shriek

With the wave of my hand and a well-placed moan

I have swept the very bravest off their feet


Yet year after year its the same routine

And I grow so weary of the sound of screams

And I Jack the pumpking king

Have grown so tired of teh same old thing


Oh somewhere deep inside of these bones

And emptiness began to grow

Theres something out there far from my home

A longing that I've never known


I'm a master of fright, and a demon of light

And I'll scare you right out of your pants

To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mr. 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 theres and empty place in of my bones

That calls out for something unknown

The fame and praise come year after year

Does nothing for these empty tears
