What’s This? Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What's this? What's this?
There's color everywhere
What's this? There's white things in the air
What's this? I can't believe my eyes
I must be dreaming, wake up, Jack, this isn't fair
What's this?
What's this? What's this?
There's something very wrong
What's this? There's people singing songs
What'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?

[Chorus]
There's children throwing snowballs
Instead of throwing heads
They're busy building toys
And absolutely no one's dead
There's frost on every window
Oh, I can't believe my eyes
And in my bones, I feel the warmth
That's coming from inside

[Verse 2]
Oh, look, what's this?
They're hanging mistletoe
They kiss? Why, that looks so unique
Inspired! They're gathering around to hear a story
Roasting chestnuts on a fire, what'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 things
They'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?

[Bridge]
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 dreamland
Ahh, What's this?

[Verse 3]
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
Are absolutely everywhere

[Chorus]
The sights, the sounds
They're everywhere and all around
I'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 own
I've got to know, I've got to know
What is this place that I have found?
What is this?

[Outro]
Christmas Town? Hmm
