| OPEN THE DOOR |
| They came and got me at eight o'clock sharp And told me that I was to blame I could not explain how the fire had started They booked me by number and name. They cursed me and scared me 'til I cried no more They left me to suffer in pain Wouldn't give me a blanket, the paint was still wet My neighbour was going insane (she said) Chorus Open the door, won't you open it, please. I've got claustrophobia and I can't even breathe Open the door, won't you open it, please You know I don't belong here, Won't you please let me leave. I had no insurance, I lost everything I gotta start over again They took all my pride and they took all my money Oh when will they take all my pain? You may not believe this and ain't it a shame But it just might happen to you So save all your money 'cuz you're gonna need it When they get their hooks into you. [Repeat Chorus] Diane Wells (Copyright 1981) |
