Текст песни Back Door Man (Live) - Sarah McLachlan

Oh-oh

You open your eyes, look around
You feel the earth, it wanders from under your feet
The ground is not firm, but soft and weak
Like skin under the touch, cannot stop to falter
And now, the damage is done, the certainties gone, the spirit's altered

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 should try at the back door-man
While the helpless line up on the doorsteps
Ooh, 'cause it's all they can do

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
For you have felt the fear growing inside
Protest follows far and wide
And they'll see how long it will take 'til you fall from so much denied

Your soul, it aches relentless for the fear that they will never guess
So unfair that they will make you feel so small
And the fear you know is real

Our hands are tied on the table
Maybe you should try at the back door-man
While the helpless line up on the doorsteps
Oh, 'cause it's all they can do to try to get through

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, 'cause it's all they can do to try to get through
