[Spoken Intro]
Jack, re-edit version number 1, January 30th '96
[Refrain]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
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
Mm, I twist away as I give this world the nod
[Refrain]
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
[Verse 2]
Open my eyes just to have them closed once again
Don't want control, hey
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?
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Talkbox Solo]
Yeah
[Refrain]
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, let the show begin)
[Chorus]
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
Longer the walk, the farther you crawl
My body, my temple, this temple, it tilts
Yes, I am, I am, I am
[Outro]
Open my eyes
It swallows me
Is that you there?
I twist away
Away
Away
Away
