The Door (2011 remastered) Songtext
von Cold Chisel

Baby, baby
The telephone′s ringin' again
What do I say? Are you home this time?
There′s somebody askin' on the telephone line

Baby, baby
You know it's getting me down
The Fatman called, left no message
They get so heavy when you′re not around

Did you see how many? Were they driving a truck?
Did they come on mean? Did you push your luck?
Did they offer you a summons? Offer you a fag?
Were they lookin′ for the money for the sugar bag?
Lookin' for the money for the sugar bag
Lookin′ for the money for the sugar bag
Lookin' for the money for the sugar bag

Hostile city
Running out the door again
I pulled a big escape along Broadway
The man came calling seven times today


Keep on running
Keep on runnin′, moving 'round
I gotta get away by the break of day
If you relax, they′re gonna pin you down

You've been hangin' down on Dixon Street
Eat Chinese chicken when it′s time to eat
Spending your time in the underground
When you relax, they′re gonna pin you down

Hostile city
Running out the door again
I pulled a big escape along Broadway
The man came calling seven times today

Did you see how many? Were they driving a truck?
Did they come on mean? Did you push your luck?
Did they offer you a summons? Offer you a fag?
Were they lookin' for the money for the sugar bag?
Lookin′ for the money for the sugar bag
Lookin' for the money for the sugar bag
Lookin′ for the money for the sugar bag


So, wake up, baby
I want you to hold me now
It's 3 a.m., time of night when
Robbers prowl
Just give me your hand
You know I could not be sure
Oh, but baby, there it goes again

Somebody knockin′ at the kitchen door
Somebody knockin' at the kitchen door
Somebody knockin' at the kitchen door
Somebody knockin′ at the kitchen door
Somebody knockin′ at the kitchen door
Somebody knockin' at the kitchen door
Somebody knockin′ at the kitchen door
Somebody knockin' at the kitchen door

Somebody knockin′ at the kitchen door
Somebody knockin' at the kitchen door
Somebody knockin′ at the kitchen door
Somebody knockin' at the kitchen door
Somebody knockin' at the kitchen door
Somebody knockin′ at the kitchen door
Somebody knockin′ at the kitchen door
Somebody knockin' at the door, oh, oh, yeah

Babe
Babe
Oh
Whoo
Are you knockin′? Ow! Ow!
Baby, baby
Oh baby, please, please
