Knock Knock

Anita Lipnicka


After the initial shock 
Of not having what you've got 
And your body drops away 
Nothing has really changed 
That's frightening and its strange 
And no one can hear what you say 

And everything just lingers on 
Like an echo of your favourite song 
It was so simple after all 
But now you're on the other side of the door 

Will you drive an outrageous Cadillac 
Wear cowboy boots and a funny hat 
And speed through the lights downtown? 
Is there an eternal Fate? 
Will you see your eternal lover's face, 
As you crash into the Milky Way? 

Knock-knock, let me in 
It's cold outside in this cosmic wind 
Knock-knock, let me in 
Just for tonight 

Been to heaven, been to hell 
Lost my heart in cheap hotels 
Been doing this for so many years 
Now it doesn't matter what I wear, 
How I look, what I own, if I care 
But where is this guiding light?
