Back Door Man Lyrics by Sarah McLachlan

Back Door Man Lyrics

    You open your eyes, look around
    You feel the earth it wanders -
    Out, from under your feet - the ground
    Is not firm but soft and weak - like skin
    Under the touch, cannot stop to falter
    Now, the damage is done the certainties gone
    The spirits altered

    Chorus
    And now the angry morning
    Gives the early signs of warning
    You must face alone the plans you make
    Decisions they will try to break

    Our hands are tied on the table
    Maybe you can try at the back door man
    While the helpless line up on the doorsteps
    'cause it's all they can do to try to get through
    All of your life you've lived in a world as pure
    As eden's sixth day - now all you've been allowed
    Is taken away - they will not let you be so proud
    And you have felt the fear growing inside
    Protest follows far and wide - they'll see how long
    It will take 'till you fall - from so much denied

    Your soul - it aches relentless from the fear
    That they will never guess - so unfair that
    They can make you feel so small
    And the fear you know is real

    Chorus
