Knock, Knock

The tide crashed on the shore As he held her in his arms They swore their love would stay forever more 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, maybe 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, has it 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
