Knock Roll over, it's in my dream Again But I'm so comfortable More, urgently And I'm awake, again Knock Knock Knock, knock Not at the bedroom door, no Knocking The window is empty My night is brisk No wilting lovers Tapping stones off my pane Nope Knock, knock, knocking Not from the attic, No ghostly chains in the basement Such horrors on the tube Frantic now, stabbing tattoo on glass Knocking, knocking, knocking Then, in mid tap, it stops Silence It's abrupt, white knuckled I search the house, room to room My bat, seems small in my fists Shadows seem to move Just behind my back I'm never quite fast enough But I can hear them move But nothing Pulling the blankets up Rolling over again Not entirely sure, But there is no one Nothing near Scratching... I hear Knocking Scratching Knock, knock Knocking Scratch I'm up Again, again I can hear them now Clearly, in the night From the house I drain, white The mirror

Knock
Knock Roll over, it's in my dream Again But I'm so comfortable More, urgently And I'm awake, again Knock Knock Knock, knock Not at the bedroom door, no Knocking The window is empty My night is brisk No wilting lovers Tapping stones off my pane Nope Knock, knock, knocking Not from the attic, No ghostly chains in the basement Such horrors on the tube Frantic now, stabbing tattoo on glass Knocking, knocking, knocking Then, in mid tap, it stops Silence It's abrupt, white knuckled I search the house, room to room My bat, seems small in my fists Shadows seem to move Just behind my back I'm never quite fast enough But I can hear them move But nothing Pulling the blankets up Rolling over again Not entirely sure, But there is no one Nothing near Scratching... I hear Knocking Scratching Knock, knock Knocking Scratch I'm up Again, again I can hear them now Clearly, in the night From the house I drain, white The mirror
