"Opportunity Is Knocking" lyrics

"Opportunity Is Knocking"

Beatless singers, they come and go
Between these modern walls with my diligent friends and
Sweetness keeps getting caught in my throat
And my voice shrivels small and I wait for the end, and

Tired and waiting, tired and losing strength
Everything will fall into its place
Waiting, wasted, nothing kind to say
Nothing kind to say

Evil pulls the world, heavy and unbent
Horrors in the night, touched by the projector
Wary of your skin, foul and innocent
Searching in the night, nothing to discover, oh

Everywhere, there's a man like me
There's a man like me
And each one wants to kill the other
You know I've never been a fighter
This land is here for lovers

Movies in your eyes, watch them in your sleep
Flustered by the night, love is so misshapen
TV in your tights, suffering in your sheets
Embarrassed polite, with love comes perversion
Somewhere in the night, there is endless love
Somewhere in your mind, your love will be endless

Crack open my head
You know that I love you
So deeply and softly
I love when you miss me and
What's going on in your head
Quieter by the day
Learning secrets
Are you disappointed?
I look in the night
Yes, we look in the night
Oh, I look in the night
Oh, I look in the night, the night
Is this the end?
