[00:-05.31]Jack's Obsession
[00:-03.31]
[00:00.00]Something's up with Jack
[00:05.51]Something's up with Jack
[00:10.31]Don't know if we're ever going to get him back
[00:18.85]
[00:19.88]He's all alone up there
[00:24.54]Locked away inside
[00:29.42]Never says a word
[00:36.75]Hope he hasn't died
[00:41.27]
[00:43.91]Something's up with Jack
[00:48.53]Something's up with Jack
[00:52.46]
[00:53.67]Christmas time is buzzing in my skull
[00:58.27]Will it let me be? I cannot tell
[01:02.94]There are so many things I cannot grasp
[01:07.74]When I think I've got it, and then at last
[01:12.53]Through my bony fingers it does slip
[01:17.33]Like a snowflake in a fiery grip
[01:24.12]
[01:26.80]Something's here I'm not quite getting
[01:31.74]Though I try, I keep forgetting
[01:36.44]Like a memory long since past
[01:41.24]Here in an instant, gone in a flash
[01:52.20]
[01:55.62]In these little bric-a-brac
[02:00.22]A secret's waiting to be cracked
[02:05.04]These dolls and toys confuse me so
[02:09.85]Confound it all, I love it though
[02:14.13]
[02:14.64]Simple objects, nothing more
[02:19.30]But something's hidden through a door
[02:24.20]Though I do not have the key
[02:28.95]Something's there I cannot see
[02:34.33]What does it mean?
[02:37.52]What does it mean?
[02:43.33]
[02:48.00]I've read these Christmas books so many times
[02:52.85]I know the stories and I know the rhymes
[02:57.54]I know the Christmas carols all by heart
[03:02.60]My skull's so full, it's tearing me apart
[03:16.74]
[03:21.06]As often as I've read them, something's wrong
[03:26.48]So hard to put my bony finger on
[03:30.93]
[03:31.16]Or perhaps it's really not as deep
[03:37.75]As I've been led to think
[03:45.63]Of course! I've been too close to see
[03:50.11]The answer's right in front of me
[03:55.04]It's simple really, very clear
[03:59.86]Like music drifting in the air
[04:04.65]Invisible, but everywhere
[04:09.29]Just because I cannot see it
[04:14.20]You know, I think this Christmas thing
[04:18.75]It's not as tricky as it seems
[04:28.47]
[04:33.48]And why should they have all the fun?
[04:38.05]It should belong to anyone
[04:43.08]Not anyone, in fact, but me
[04:47.63]Why, I could make a Christmas tree
[04:52.58]And there's no reason I can find
[04:57.24]I couldn't handle Christmas time
[05:02.17]I bet I could improve it too
[05:08.70]And that's exactly what I'll do
[05:17.50]
