What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am the best
2
For my talents are renowned far and wide
3
When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night
4
I excel without ever even trying
5
With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms
6
I have seen grown men give out a shriek
7
With the wave of my hand, and a well-placed moan
8
I have swept the very bravest off their feet
9
Yet year after year, it's the same routine
10
And I grow so weary of the sound of screams
11
And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King
12
Have grown so tired of the same old thing
13
Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones
14
An emptiness began to grow
15
There's something out there, far from my home
16
A longing that I've never known
17
I'm a master of fright, and a demon of light
18
And I'll scare you right out of your pants
19
To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister Unlucky
20
And I'm known throughout England and France
21
And since I am dead, I can take off my head
22
To recite Shakespearean quotations
23
No animal nor man can scream like I can
24
With the fury of my recitations
25
But who here would ever understand
26
That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin
27
Would tire of his crown, if they only understood
28
He'd give it all up if he only could
29
Oh, there's an empty place in my bones
30
That calls out for something unknown
31
The fame and praise come year after year
32
Does nothing for these empty tears
