Songtext What's this Danny Elfman

What's this

[JACK]What's this? What's this'There's color everywhereWhat's this'There's white things in the airWhat's this?
I can't believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
Wake up, Jack, this isn't fairWhat's this?What's this? What's this'There's something very wrongWhat's this'There's people singing songsWhat's this?
The streets are lined with
Little creatures laughing
Everybody seems so happy
Have I possibly gone daffy?
What is this?What's this?
There are children throwing snowballs here
Instead of throwing headsThey're busy building toys
And absolutely no one's deadThere's frost on every window
Oh, I can't believe my eyes
And in my bones I feel the warmthThat's coming from inside
Oh, lookWhat's this'They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss
Why that looks so unique, inspiredThey're gathering around to hear a story
Roasting chestnuts on a fireWhat's this?What's this?
In here they've got a little tree, how queer
And who would ever think
And why'They're covering it with tiny little thingsThey've got electric lights on strings
And there's a smile on everyone
So, now, correct me if I'm wrong
This looks like fun
This looks like fun
Oh, could it be I got my wish?What's this?
Oh my, what now?
The children are asleep
But look, there's nothing underneath
No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them
Or ensnare them, only little cozy things
Secure inside their dreamlandWhat's this?
The monsters are all missing
And the nightmares can't be found
And in their place there seems to be
Good feeling all around
Instead of screams, I swear
I can hear music in the air
The smell of cakes and pies
Is absolutely everywhere
The sights, the soundsThey're everywhere and all aroundI've never felt so good before
This empty place inside of me is filling up
I simply cannot get enough
I want it, oh, I want it
Oh, I want it for my ownI've got to knowI've got to know
What is this place that I have found?
What is this?
Christmas Town, hmm...
