The Door 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
Somebody askin' on the telephone line

Baby, babe
I know that′s gonna drown my day
And then the Fatsy told me there′s no message again
Asked 'em why and they would not say
Asked ′em why and they would not say

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


Hostile city
Running out the door again
Pulled a big escape along Broadway
Man came calling seven times today
Man came calling seven times today

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

Hangin' down, Dixon Street
Chinese chicken when it′s time to eat
Spending your time on the underground
If you relax, they're gonna pin you down

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

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


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

Listen
So, wake up, babe
I want you to hold me now
It′s 3 a.m., time of night when
Robbers prowl
Give me your love
Lord knows, I could not be sure, oh yeah
But, oh baby, there it goes again
Listen

There's somebody knockin′ at the kitchen door
There's somebody knockin′ at the kitchen door
There's somebody knockin' at the kitchen door
There′s somebody knockin′ at the kitchen door
Somebody knockin' at the kitchen door
There′s 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 kitchen door
Somebody knockin′ at the door

Baby, oh

Babe, oh, no, no, no
