From liner notes |
|
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 |
| [1] |
|
|
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 (1)] |
|
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 |
