I hear the door-bell ring and suddenly the panic takes me
The sound so ominously tearing through the silence
I cannot move, I’m standing, numb and frozen
Among the things I love so dearly
The books the paitings and the furniture, help me
The signal’s souding once again and someone tries the doorknob
None of my friends would be so stupidly impatient
And they don’t dare to come here anymore now
But how I loved our secret meetings
We talked and talked in quiet voices, smiling
Now I hear them moving, muffled noises
Coming through the door, I feel I’m cracking up
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I’m close to fainting, cracking up
They must know by now I’m in here trembling
In a terror evergrowing, cracking up
My whole world is falling, going crazy
There is no escaping now, I’m cracking up
These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation
And seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces
And now they’ve come to take me, come to break me
And yet it isn’t unexpected
I have been waiting for these visitors, help me
Now I hear them moving, muffled noises
Coming through the door, I feel I’m cracking up
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I’m close to fainting, cracking up
They must know by now I’m in here trembling
In a terror evergrowing, cracking up
My whole world is falling, going crazy
There is no escaping now, I’m cracking up
Now I hear them moving, muffled noises
Coming through the door, I feel I’m cracking up
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I’m close to fainting, cracking up (I have been waiting for these visitors)
They must know by now I’m in here trembling
In a terror evergrowing, cracking up (I have been waiting for these visitors)
My whole world is falling, going crazy
There is no escaping now, I’m cracking up (I have been waiting for these visitors)
Now I hear them moving, muffled noises
Coming through the door, I feel I’m cracking up (I have been waiting for these visitors)
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I’m close to fainting, cracking up (I have been waiting for these visitors)
They must know by now I’m in here trembling
In a terror evergrowing, cracking up (I have been waiting for these visitors)
My whole world is falling, going crazy
There is no escaping now, I’m cracking up
