Knock Knock
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This time you got it all figured out.
Think it's gonna work okay but I'll make sure it won't cause I'll be standing in your way.
So wait a minute if you will.
I ain't got no time but time to kill.
When the ground starts getting hot it doesn't matter if you run or not.
This time you've seen it done before.
This time you're gonna get it right.
Once more you fail miserably and then,
then you do it all over again.
So wait a minute if you will.
I ain't got no time but time to kill.
When the ground starts getting hot it doesn't matter if you run or not.
You're once a failure and twice a fool.
I will - knock knock.
If you won't - knock knock.
You're damned - knock knock.
If you don't - knock knock.
You did fine - knock knock.
Now you're mine - knock knock.
You avoided everything except for me.
I'm busting in won't pick the lock I'm busting in - knock knock.
I've seen your sort before.
You are nothing new cause my name is failure and failure is gonna come to you.
Save me lord and I will.
This time I got the time to kill.
When the ground starts getting hot it doesn't matter if you run or not.
You're once a failure and twice a fool.
I will - knock knock.
If you won't - knock knock.
You're damned - knock knock.
If you don't - knock knock.
You did fine - knock knock.
Now you're mine - knock knock.
You avoided everything except for me.
I'm busting in won't pick the lock I'm busting in - knock knock.
nock knock I'm busting in knock knock?
