The tide crashed on the shore As he held her in his arms They swore they would stay together And forever more
From this moment on As they made their wedding vows He couldn't know 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, even 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 it's looked me in the eye And there is no Mt. Olympus Just before you die
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 and now she wants more
And tonight on T.V Well they show the happy pair I almost wept with laughter as some fool caught The bouquet the bride threw in the air
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, as it upped and gone to bed Bleeding hearts and mothers weeping, sometimes I wish her dead
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, even my next meal
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 and now she wants more
