The House That Jack Built Songtext
von Metallica

Open door, 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 its fog
I twist away
As I give this world a nod

Open door, 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, yeah


Open door, yes, I walk inside
Swallow me so the pain subsides
And I shake as I take this in
Let the show begin
(Let the show begin)
(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
