Metallica - The House Jack Built lyrics

[Metallica - The House Jack Built lyrics]

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 it's fog
Mm ah
I twist away as I give this world the 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 closed once again
Don't want control, ay yeah
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
´Cause this is the house that Jack built

Open door, yes, I walk inside
Swallow me so the pain subsides
And I shake as I take the sin
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
Step into the house that Jack built
And the higher you are the farther you fall
The longer the walk the farther you crawl
My body, my temple this temple, it tilts
'Cause I am, I am, I am

Open my eyes it swallows me
Is that you there i twist away
Away away
Away
