[Verse 1]
All lines are read, the film is done
After Hours is on and now they'll make another one
If you miss the meaning this time
Well, here comes another one

[Verse 2]
And if you clap your hands, the man will fall
Hold your breath, he'll shake himself to death
And the scenes get rearranged
And words unsaid

[Chorus]
Every day, I hear "knock knock knock"
Oh, and it's you
Oh, every day, I hear "knock knock knock"
Then I see you, and you're shaking
And you're breaking, and you tell me I'm your only friend
And it starts all over again

[Verse 3]
You said you were living in a buttoned-up world
Living in 1892
There was nothing they could say to convince me
To blame nobody but you
[Verse 4]
We'll tell you some truth and you know it's gonna blow
But you don't give a damn, don't care who's gonna know
You just want everyone talk slow
And give you consent

[Chorus]
Every time I hear "knock knock knock"
I know that it's you
Oh, every day, I hear "knock knock knock"
And I see you, and you're shaking
Oh, you're breaking, so I put down my poison pen
And it starts all over again

[Outro]
And it starts all over again
And it starts all over again
Sta-starts up to give
It's all over again
