Artist: ABBA
Song: The Visitors

I hear the door-bell 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 doorknob 
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
