Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you left the door was (Slamming)
You paused in the doorway (Slamming)
As though a thought stole you away (Slamming)
I watched the world pull you away (Slamming)
So I run into the hall (Lock it)
Into the corridor (Lock it)
There's a door in the house (Slamming)
I hear the lift descending (Slamming)
I hear it hit the landing (Slamming)
See the hackles on the cat (Standing)
[Verse 2]
With my key (Lock it)
With my key I (Lock it)
With my key I (Lock it)
With my key I (Lock it)
[Verse 3]
I am the concierge chez-moi, honey
Won't letcha in for love, nor money
My home, my joy
I'm barred and bolted and I (Won't let you in)
[Verse 4]
Get out of my house
No stranger's feet
Will enter me (Get out of my house)
I wash the panes (Get out of my house)
I clean the stains away (Get out of my house)
[Verse 5]
This house is as old as I am (Slamming)
This house knows all I have done (Slamming)
They come with their weather hanging 'round them (Slamming)
But can't knock my door down (Slamming)
[Verse 6]
With my key I (Lock it)
With my key I (Lock it)
[Verse 7]
This house is full of my madness (Slamming)
This house is full of mistakes (Slamming)
This house is full of madness (Slamming)
This house is full of, full of, full of fight (Slam it)
[Verse 8]
With my keeper I (Clean up)
With my keeper I (Clean it all up)
With my keeper I (Clean up)
With my keeper I (Clean it all up)
[Verse 9]
I am the concierge chez-moi, honey
Won't letcha in for love, nor money
My home, my joy (It's cold out here)
I'm barred and bolted and I (Get out of my—)
[Verse 10]
(Won't let you in) Get out of my house
No stranger's feet (Get out of my house)
Will enter me (Get out of my house)
I wash the panes (Get out of my house)
I clean the stains (Get out of my house)
Won't enter me (Get out of my house)
Won't let you in (Get out of my house)
[Verse 11]
(Get out of my house)
(Get out of my house)
(Get out of my house)
(Get out of my house)
(Get out of my house)
(Get out of my house) Let me in
[Verse 12]
Let me in
Let me bring in the memories
Woman let me in
Let me bring in the devil dreams
[Verse 13]
I will not let you in
Don't you bring back the reveries
I turn into a bird
Carry further than the word is heard
[Verse 14]
Woman let me in
I turn into the wind
I blow you a cold kiss
Stronger than the song's hit
[Verse 15]
I will not let you in
I face towards the wind
I change into the mule
[Verse 16]
Let me in
