Knock, Knock - Anita Lipnicka, John Porter

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?
