I hear the doorbell ring and suddenly the panic takes me
The sound so ominously tearing through the silence

I cannot move, I´m standing
Numb and frozen
Among the things I love so dearly
The books, the paintings and the furniture
Help me

The signal´s sounding once again and someone tries the door-knob
None of my friends would be so stupidly impatient
And they don´t dare to come here
Anymore now
But how I loved our secret meetings
We talked and talked in quiet voices
Smiling

Now I hear them moving
Muffled noises coming through the door

I feel I´m
Crackin´ up
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I´m close to fainting
Crackin´ up
They must know by now I´m in here trembling
In a terror evergrowing
Crackin´ up
My whole world is falling, going crazy
There is no escaping now, I´m
Crackin´ up

These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation
And seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces
And now they´ve come to take me
Come to break me

And yet it isn´t unexpected
I have been waiting for these visitors
Help me

Now I hear them moving
Muffled noises coming through the door
I feel I´m
Crackin´ up
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I´m close to fainting
Crackin´ up
They must know by now I´m in here trembling
In a terror evergrowing
Crackin´ up
My whole world is falling, going crazy
There is no escaping now, I´m
Crackin´ up

Now I hear them moving
Muffled noises coming through the door
I feel I´m
Crackin´ up
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I´m close to fainting
Crackin´ up
(I have been waiting for these visitors)
They must know by now I´m in here trembling
In a terror evergrowing
Crackin´ up
(I have been waiting for these visitors)
My whole world is falling, going crazy
There is no escaping now, I´m
Crackin´ up
(I have been waiting for these visitors)
Now I hear them moving
Muffled noises coming through the door

I feel I´m
Crackin´ up
(I have been waiting for these visitors)
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I´m close to fainting
Crackin´ up
(I have been waiting for these visitors)
They must know by now I´m in here trembling
In a terror evergrowing
Crackin´ up
(I have been waiting for these visitors)
My whole world is falling, going crazy
There is no escaping now, I´m
Crackin´ up
