I‘m back in Europe but it is not the same
I‘m haunted by headaches and I cannot sleep
I call it a ritual - they call it a crime
///
they’re bringing her down
and whisper the rhyme
/
I‘m going through the motions
but I’m just drawing blanks
can you hear it?
///
all the work has been done
now listen to the rhyme
//
and Europe lies dormant
//
so this is the cow
with the crumpled horn
that tossed the dog
that worried the cat
that killed the rat
that ate the malt
that lay in the house
that Jack built
and this is the maiden
all forlorn
that lay in the house
that Jack built
and here comes a candle
to light you to bed
here comes a chopper
to chop off your head
chip, chop, chip, chop
you tell me
what is my name?
