This is the house that Jack built
Jack built this house with his own two hands
This is the place for Jack's family
This is the place for Jack's plans
Now is the time for Jack's plans

This is the house that Jack built
Jack built this house with his own two hands
This is the place for Jack's family
This is the place for Jack's plans
Now is the time for Jack's plans

This is the room were Jack drinks
Emptying his mind like a weary man
This is the chair where Jack sits
Eyes to the floor when Jack stands
Or you'll get taught by Jack's hand

Only Jack can know what Jack's gonna do
When this dark night transforms into the day
This is the place where Jack can be Jack
(There's no turning back)
It's where his will defines his way

And if these walls could talk they'd be talking to Jack
And talking to Jack and Jack alone
Cos every brick was laid by Jack's hard-working hands
(According to his plans)
Until his house became his home

When every road you follow leads back to Jack
Then there's nowhere to go
When the light at the end of the tunnel's gone black
One straw could snap the camel's back

His perfect prison towers tall
A different fate on every floor
And every hallway has two walls
On every wall you'll find three doors
On every latch you'll find a lock
On top each mantle rests a clock
So watch the hands spin round the face
Propel yrself thru time and space
