Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Snow on the gravestones Tinsel on the trees in the yard Candy canes on crooked fences This season’s dressed a little dark I hear sleigh bells From a crooked little hill But the laugh that rides the echo Gives my spine a chill [Chorus] ’Cause Jack stole my Christmas dream Turned my carols into screams Hung his pumpkins on the evergreen Now I’m waking up at midnight From a sugar‑coated scream Yeah, Jack stole my Christmas Stole my Christmas dream [Verse 2] Stockings by the fireplace But the chimney coughs out crows Mistletoe above the doorway On a skeleton of bow Gingerbread men with button eyes Smiling just a bit too wide Every candy-wrapped surprise Got a shadow tucked inside [Chorus] ’Cause Jack stole my Christmas dream Turned my carols into screams Wrapped my wishes in a crooked seam Now I’m dancing with the ghost Of what December used to mean Yeah, Jack stole my Christmas Stole my Christmas dream (oh, Jack) [Bridge] I light a candle on the mantel It drips black down the wick I pray for sleepy silver mornings But the clock hands move like tricks Is it Halloween in heaven Or Christmas down in hell? All I know is when I’m sleeping I can hear his sleigh bells [Chorus] Jack stole my Christmas dream Turned my carols into screams Painted peppermint in shades of deep green Now the nightmare keeps on breathing Through the tinsel and the steam Yeah, Jack stole my Christmas Stole my Christmas dream (mmm, dream) Stole my Christmas dream (ooh, Jack)

Verses stay low and conversational, chorus lifts into sultry sustained notes with subtle horn pads. Occasional scatted ad-libs and late-night reverb give it a haunted-lounge shimmer., female vocals, halloween
