Back Door Man

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
You open your eyes, look aroundYou feel the earth, it wanders -Out, from under your feet - the groundIs not firm but soft and weak - like skinunder the touch, cannot stop to falterNow, the damage is done, the certainties goneThe spirit's alteredAnd now the angry morningGives the early signs of warningYou must face alone, the plans you makeDecisions they will try to breakOur hands are tied on the tableMaybe you can try at the back door manWhile the helpless line up on the doorsteps'Cause it's all they can do to try to get throughAll of your life you've lived in a world as pureAs eden's sixth day - now, all you've been allowedIs taken away - they will not let you be so proudAnd you have the fear growing insideProtest follows far and wide - they'll see how longIt will take 'till you fall - from so much deniedYour soul - it aches relentless for the fearThat they will never guess - so unfair thatThey can make you feel so smallAnd the fear you know is realOur hands are tied on the tableMaybe you can try at the back door manWhile the helpless line up on the doorsteps'Cause it's all they can do to try to get throughOh, 'cause it's all they can do to try to get through
