Tim Burton Jack's Obsession Lyrics

Performed by Danny Elfman and Cast CITIZENS OF
HALLOWEEN Something's up with Jack, Something's up with
Jack. Don't know if we're ever going to get him back.
He's all alone up there, Locked away inside. Never says
a word, Hope he hasn't died. Something's up with Jack,
Something's up with Jack. JACK: Christmas time is
buzzing in my skull. Will it let me be? I cannot tell.
There are so many things I cannot grasp. When I think
I've got it, 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 instant, 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, But 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...hmm... I've read these Christmas
books so manytimes. I know 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 really 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 clearLike music drifting in the
airInvisible, but everywherejust because I cannot see
itDoesn't mean I can't believe itYou know, I think this
Christmas thingIt's not as tricky as it seemsAnd why
should they have all the fun?lt should belong to
anyoneNot anyone, in fact, but me! Why, 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 l'II do! Hee,hee,hee, hee!
Eureka! This year Christmas will be ours!
