I hear the doorbell ringsuddenly the panic takes me
The sound so ominously tearing through the silence
I cannot move, I''m standing
Numbfrozen
Among the things I love so dearly
The books, the paintingsthe furniture
Help me

The signal''s sounding once againsomeone tries the door-knob
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 talkedtalked in quiet voices
Smiling

Now I hear them moving
Muffled noises coming through the door
I feel I''m
Crackin'' up
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I''m close to fainting
Crackin'' up
They must know by now I''m in here trembling
In a terror evergrowing
Crackin'' up
My whole world is falling, going crazy
There is no escaping now, I''m
Crackin'' 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
Crackin'' up
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I''m close to fainting
Crackin'' up
They must know by now I''m in here trembling
In a terror evergrowing
Crackin'' up
My whole world is falling, going crazy
There is no escaping now, I''m
Crackin'' up

Now I hear them moving
Muffled noises coming through the door
I feel I''m
Crackin'' up
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I''m close to fainting
Crackin'' up
(I have been waiting for these visitors)
They must know by now I''m in here trembling
In a terror evergrowing
Crackin'' up
(I have been waiting for these visitors)
My whole world is falling, going crazy
There is no escaping now, I''m
Crackin'' up
(I have been waiting for these visitors)
Now I hear them moving
Muffled noises coming through the door
I feel I''m
Crackin'' up
(I have been waiting for these visitors)
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I''m close to fainting
Crackin'' up
(I have been waiting for these visitors)
They must know by now I''m in here trembling
In a terror evergrowing
Crackin'' up
(I have been waiting for these visitors)
My whole world is falling, going crazy
There is no escaping now, I''m
Crackin'' up
