Open Mic Night Lyrics - September 20, 2023

“What’s This?” - From “The Nightmare Before Christmas”

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?

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

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?

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
What'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 are absolutely everywhere

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!?
Christmas Town?

“The Power of Love” - By Celine Dion

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes

I hold on to your whole body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside's too much to take
That all ends when I'm with you

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side

'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away

'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

The power of love
The power of love

Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

The power of love

As I look in your eyes

The power of love

“This I Promise You” - By N*Sync

Oh, oh
When the visions around you
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surrounds you
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength
I'll give you hope
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call
Was standing here all along

And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
'Til the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

I've loved you forever
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow
Forever has now begun

Just close your eyes (close your eyes) each loving day (each loving day)
And know this feeling won't go away (no)
'Til the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

Over and over I thought (over and over I thought)
When I hear you call
Without you in my life, baby
I just wouldn't be living at all

And I will take you in my arms (I will take you in my arms)
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)
'Til the day my life is through
This I promise you, babe

Just close your eyes each loving day (each loving day)
And know this feeling won't go away (no)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you

Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you

“Rolling in the Deep” - By Adele

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare

See how I'll leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling

We could've had it all (you're gonna wish you)
(Never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall)
(Rolling in the deep)

You had my heart inside (you're gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
And you played it (tears are gonna fall)
To the beat (rolling in the deep)

Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one on you, now I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Make a home down there, as mine sure won't be shared

The scars of your love (never had met me)
Remind me of us (tears are gonna fall)
They keep me thinking (rolling in the deep)
That we almost had it all (you're gonna wish you)
The scars of your love (never had met me)
They leave me breathless (tears are gonna fall)
I can't help feeling (rolling in the deep)

We could've had it all (you're gonna wish you)
(Never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall)
(Rolling in the deep)

You had my heart inside (you're gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
And you played it (tears are gonna fall)
To the beat (rolling in the deep)

We could've had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it with a beating

Throw your soul through every open door (whoa)
Count your blessings to find what you look for (whoa)
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold (whoa)
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown

We could've had it all (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could've had it all (you're gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all (tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could've had it all (you're gonna wish you)
(Never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall)
(Rolling in the deep)

You had my heart inside (you're gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
And you played it (tears are gonna fall)
To the beat (rolling in the deep)

Could've had it all (you're gonna wish you)
(Never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (tears are gonna fall)
(Rolling in the deep)

You had my heart inside (you're gonna wish you)
Of your hands (never had met me)
But you played it, you played it, you played it
You played it to the beat

“Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head” - By Burt Bacharach and Hal David

Raindrops are falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me, it won't be long
Till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me

“Insane” - from “Hazbin Hotel”

Dearly beloved, for your entertainment
It's my pleasure to introduce to you Hell's latest arrival
The equal opportunity killer, Alastor

Hello, it's nice to meet you! (Hello!)
Now, can you tell me where I am?
I don't know how I got here but I, I think I'm startin' to understand
I don't belong among the angels, and baby, that's just fine with me (Ha!)
The things I did up there were high school, but now I'm going for my degree

Hey! Sorry, but you just got in my way
I promise, honey, I can feel your pain
And maybe I enjoy it just a little bit, does that make me insane?
Haven't been the same since I expired
Doesn't mean that I plan to retire
And now I have the power to bathe all of you in entertaining fire

Da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Wait a minute, do I know you?
Weren't you an old pal of mine?
Departed from us far too early, but now we're meeting a second time
We used to have such fun together
And maybe you have what I need
But first, I have one tiny question
Tell me, do you demons bleed?

Hey! Sorry, but you just got in my way
I promise, honey, I can feel your pain
And maybe I enjoy it just a little bit, does that make me insane?
Haven't been the same since I expired
Doesn't mean that I plan to retire
And now I have the power to bathe all of you in entertaining fire

Da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da (Ha-ha-ha, yeah!)
Da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da (Alright!)
Da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Hey! Sorry, but you just got in my way (Da-da, da-da-da-da)
I promise, honey, I can feel your pain (Da-da, da-da-da)
And maybe I enjoy it just a little bit, does that make me insane? (Da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Haven't been the same since I expired (Da-da, da-da-da-da)
Doesn't mean that I plan to retire (Da-da, da-da-da)
And now I have the power to bathe all of you in entertaining fire (Da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da, ha-ha-ha-ha!)

Hey! Sorry, but you just got in my way
I promise, honey, I can feel your pain
And maybe I enjoy it just a little bit, does that make me insane?

Jack’s Jokes!

What do you call a well balanced horse? A Stable!

What do you call an angry carrot? A steamed Veggie!

Where do Polar Bears keep their money? In a snowbank!

Why do Cows wear bells? Because their horns don't work!

Why did the bicycle fall over? Because it was too “tire’d”

“Three Wooden Crosses” - Randy Travis

A farmer and a teacher, a h****r and a preacher
Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico
One's headed for vacation, one for higher education
And two of them were searchin' for lost souls
That driver never ever saw the stop sign
And eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows
I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you
It's what you leave behind you when you go

That farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acres
The faith and love for growin' things in his young son's heart
And that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children
Did her best to give 'em all a better start
And that preacher whispered, "Can't you see the Promised Land?"
As he laid his blood-stained bible in that h****r’s hand

That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday
As he held that blood-stained bible up
For all of us to see
He said "Bless the farmer, and the teacher, and the preacher
Who gave this Bible to my mama
Who read it to me"

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Why there's not four of them, now I guess we know
It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you
It's what you leave behind you when you go

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway

“Money” - By Devin Gutierrez

money
is root of all evil
money, is the cause of all our pain
Money, tired of dealing in this world
Money, can't you see we're in a twirl

five year old boy walking down the side of the road
He says it's too hot, mama says do whatever you're told
with downcast eyes and flaming feet
all he wants is a place to eat, but his mama's looking for a place to get high
and the rent ain't been paid in two damn weeks, but they don't wanna end up on the
streets
well, somehow I don't think they'll let it slide

money
is root of all evil
money, is the cause of all our pain
Money, tired of dealing in this world
Money, such a cruel and Heartless World

Millionaire man won't pay his share of the load
makes me so cross I think I'm bout to explode
They're headed to space in a big machine
leaving the world behind for a dream
but ain't that just the way it goes, or so it seems
giving your money to the lord
preacher's gonna buy a brand new ford
but at least you've got your pie up in the sky

give me that Money, money
money, money,
money, money, New york city, WON'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE
money, money
money, money.
money money

money
is root of all evil
money, is the cause of all our pain
Money, tired of dealing in this world
Money, can't you see we're in a twirl
Money, tell 7 billion people
Money, every damn day is the same
money, tire me out and rob me blind
money, seems enough I'll never find
outro: give me that
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
ahh
