What's this? What's this?
There's color everywhere
What's this?
There's whit 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 a warmth
That's coming from inside

Oh, look
What's tis?
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 tny little things
They're got electriclightson 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, couldit 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
Is 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 simple 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?

    General Comment:If you want a shit version of 'what's this' go listen to Flyleaf's version and stop complaining about FOB version.

    I have nothing against Flyleaf they're one of my favorite bands but that peice of shit is the worst cover i've ever heard. D: I have NO idea what the hell they were thinking. I'm am VERY, VERY disappointed in Flyleaf for that massacre i hold them up higher than that.

    So quit your bitchin. FOB did an amazing job covering this song. ^^

    General Comment:It's shit because I don't want to hear an electric guitar and Patricks crappy voice in What's This. That's not how the song is supposed to be, and it ruins it. Don't get me wrong, it's a good song and I can still listen to it, but that's only because Danny Elfman wrote a fantastic piece of work.

    General Comment:Seriously. You want a shitty TNBC song cover? Listen to what Panic! did to 'This is Halloween' or what She Wants Revenge did to 'Kidnap the Sandy Claws" and then see if you have the gall to say Fall Out Boy destroyed 'What's This?" Asswipes. I think this song is EXCELLENT. Marilyn Manson also did an amazing cover for "This is Halloween".
