Metallica – The House That Jack Built

Open doors so I walk inside
Close my eyes, find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin

Open my eyes, just to have them close again
Well on my way, but on my way to where I’ve been
It swallows me, as it takes me in it’s fog
I twist away, as I give this world a nod

Open doors so I walk inside
Close my eyes, find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin

Open my eyes, just to have them close once again
Don’t want control as it takes me down and down and down again
Is that the moon or just a light that lights this dead end street?
Is that you there or just another demon that I meet?

The higher you are, the farther you fall
The longer the walk, the farther you crawl
My body my temple, this temple it tilts
Step into the house that Jack built

The higher you are, the farther you fall
The longer the walk, the farther you crawl
My body my temple, this temple it tilts
Yes, this is the house that Jack built

Open doors as I walk inside
Swallow me so the pain subsides
And I shake as I take this in
Let the show begin

The higher you are, the farther you fall
The longer the walk, the farther you crawl
My body my temple, this temple it tilts
Yes this is the house that Jack built

The higher you are, the farther you fall
The longer the walk, the farther you crawl
My body my temple, this temple it tilts
Yes, I am, I am, I am

Open my eyes, it swallows me
Is that you there? I twist away
Away, away, away
