Wolves At The Door

Joe Lynn Turner


Everybody's got their hand out
Everybody wants their share
Spending it like water
Money that isn't even there

You're livin' on plastic
And everything's fine
One day you turn around
And you're three months behind

I've got wolves at the door
This is a whole lot more
Than I bargained for
I've got wolves at the door
Piling up the interest
I can't stand it anymore

Visa, Visa everywhere
Gold Mastercards
We got American excess
And they know just who you are

Nose pressed to the window
You start to get that itch
Come thirty days later
The payback's a bitch

There's wolves at the door
Oh, squeeze me all you want to
Can't get blood from a stone
There's wolves at the door
Promise I'll pay you someday
Now leave me alone

Oh, little by little
You know it all adds up
They're gonna come for you someday
You get caught in the middle
You're better with a paper cup
They're gonna get you either way

Maxed out on the credit line
This is what you get
Cash, card and carry
Now you're drowning in debt

Got a two minute warning
You're in over your head
Shades are drawn, the lights are out
You're hiding under the bed

There's wolves at the door
This is a whole lot more
Than I bargained for
There's wolves at the door
Piling up the interest
I can't stand it anymore

Got wolves at the door
Squeeze me all you want to
Can't get blood from a stone
Got wolves at the door
Promise I'll pay you someday
Leave me alone
