Knock Knock

The tide crashed on the shore

As he held her in his arms

They swore their love would stay forever more

And never slip away

From this moment on

As they made their wedding vows

He knew how life would change, oh

Love was blind for now



Hey, but knock, knock, knock

Put the chain on the door

She's back again and now she wants more

Knock, knock, knock

The thief's back to steal

The shirt off my back, my next meal



I'm not living anymore

I'm just breathing day to day

Everything i had has gone, she has taken it away

Heaven's door has opened and looked me in the eye

And there is no mt. olympus, just before you die



*

Knock, knock, knock

She's got the house and the car

The only thing left is my old guitar

Knock, knock, knock

Her foot's in the door

The shirt's off my back, now she wants more



And tonight on t.v. well they show a happy pair

I almost wept with laughter

As some fool caught the bouquet the bride threw in the air



(instrumental)



At the final curtain call, in the neon light display

I see all the ugly scars that illuminate my day

And hail the promised land, it's upped and gone to bed

Bleeding hearts and mothers weeping

Sometimes i wish her dead



Repeat *



Hey, but knock, knock, knock

Put the chain on the door

She's back again and now she wants more

Knock, knock, knock

The thief's back to steal

The shirt off my back, stays in my next meal
