All lines are read, the film is done

After hours is on and now they'll make another one

If you miss the meaning this time

Well here comes another one


And if you clap your hands, the man will fall

Hold your breath, he'll shake himself to death

And scenes get rearranged

When words are said


Every day I hear knock, knock, knock

Oh, and it's you

Oh, every day I hear knock, knock, knock


Then I see you and you're shaking

And you're breaking

And you tell me I'm your only friend

And it starts all over again


You said you were living in a buttoned-up world

Living in 1892

Aw, there was nothing they could say to convince me

To blame nobody but you


And your hand is on the trigger and you know it's gonna blow

But you don't give a damn, don't care who's gonna know

You just want everyone to talk slow

And give you consent


Every time I hear knock, knock, knock

I know that it's you

Oh, every day I hear knock, knock, knock


And I see you and you're shaking

Oh, you're breaking

So I put down the poison pen

And it starts all over again


And it starts all over again
