Knock, Knock

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?
