[Verse 1]
The incorrigible wheel tilts at a grotesque angle
The delay is upon me
Who locked the door?
Who bent the key?

[Chorus]
I've been knocking and knocking and knocking and knocking
Pounding and knocking and knocking
Let me in

[Verse 2]
I need a place to bury the soulless, charming
Winter-hell creature upon me
Who boarded the windows?
Who closed the screens?

[Chorus]
I've been knocking and knocking and knocking and knocking
And knocking and knocking and knocking
Let me in

[Verse 3]
I have come from the distance
Where you can't see
It is there, believe me
Now let me in
Let me in
Let me in
[Verse 4]
Who put a padlock on the cellar door? Let me in
I've been knocking, let me in
Who bricked off the chimney?
I can't hear you speak

[Chorus]
I've been knocking and knocking
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
