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 paintings and the furniture, help me

The signal's sounding 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
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 ever growing
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 ever growing
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 ever growing
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 ever growing
Crackin' up

(I have been waiting for these visitors)
My whole world is falling, going crazy
