What have I done? What have I done? How could I be so blind? All is lost, where was I? Spoiled all, spoiled all Everything's gone all wrong

What have I done? What have I done? Find a deep cave to hide in In a million years they'll find me Only dust and a plaque That reads "Here Lies Poor Old Jack"

But I never intended all this madness, never And nobody really understood, how could they? That all I ever wanted was to bring them something great Why does nothing ever turn out like it should?

Well, what the heck, I went and did my best ! And, by God, I really tasted something swell, And for a moment, why, I even touched the sky And at least I left some stories they can tell, I did!

And I just can't wait until next Halloween 'Cause I've got some new ideas that will really make them scream And, by God, I'm really going to give it all my might Uh-oh, I hope there's still time to set things right

I'll start.
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 excel without ever even trying

With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike 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, 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

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 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 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
poor jack...
