Elliott Smith
Who’s Behind the Door?
[Verse 1]
The daylight never kills
This old parasite
It just makes it restless and
Stronger every night

Up the plywood ramp
Covered in flecks of white
Reading the flashcard faces underneath
The purple light

[Chorus]
Who's behind the door?
The searchlight's flashing
Can't wait anymore
Under legs collapsing

[Verse 2]
Can't you hear the bell
Drowning out the thought
Like a burning antiseptic smell
Who cares if I get caught?

'Cause I don't wanna wait
For the right guy to appear
I just need someone to touch
That's why we're all here
[Chorus]
Who's behind the door? I
Lost another hour
Can't wait anymore
They're gonna cut the power
Well have we already met? There's
No recognition
You wanna start again, 'cause
I've got ambition

Hoooo-yeah!

[Verse 3]
I'm not gonna wait
For the right guy to appear
I just need someone to touch
That's why we're all here

[Chorus]
Who's behind the door? I
Lost another hour
Can't wait anymore, they're
Gonna cut the power
Well have we already met? There's
No recognition
You wanna start again, 'cause
I've got ambition
Hoooo-yeah!
