Nightmare Before Christmas

Note, this wasn't my idea, it was Tim Burton's, this is just my interpretation.

The rag-doll girl leapt from her prison,

Scent of nightshade in the evening air.

She was bound for the dark tower

Where the skeleton toiled in despair.

She pained for him and his dream

She’d seen the whole thing in flame.

She was the only one who knew

It could never be the same.

Still, she toiled towards his dream

Dutifully doing the job she’d been given.

Helping out the mad skeleton,

By love for him, she was solely driven.

But she feared for the skeleton’s fate

And hoped her vision wouldn’t come true.

She knew the outcome would be grim,

If with this dream, he followed through

So she called up a fog in the dark night

In an attempt to stop his wild endeavor.

She really loved him with all her heart

She only wished to be his forever.

He continued with his mad flight,

His greed to fill a twisted obsession

It made him far too blind and dim

To see the heart that was in his possession

And when he failed and fell from the sky

The rag-doll girl faced the evil incarnate

To save the skeleton she loved

To try and set this whole twisted plot straight.

Now that you’ve heard twisted tale of love for two,

I think its clear for anyone out there to see

The little rag-doll girl and the king of Halloween

Together forever, they were simply meant to be
