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 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
