The Visitors - ABBA

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 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

Cracking up

Voices growing louder, irritation building

And I'm close to fainting

Cracking up

They must know by now I'm in here trembling

In a terror ever-growing

Cracking up

My whole world is falling, going crazy

There is no escaping now, I'm

Cracking 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

Cracking up

Voices growing louder, irritation building

And I'm close to fainting

Cracking up

They must know by now I'm in here trembling

In a terror ever-growing

Cracking up

My whole world is falling, going crazy

There is no escaping now, I'm

Cracking up

Now I hear them moving

Muffled noises coming through the door I feel I'm

Cracking up

Voices growing louder, irritation building

And I'm close to fainting

Cracking up

(I have been waiting for these visitors)

They must know by now I'm in here trembling

In a terror ever-growing

Cracking up

(I have been waiting for these visitors)

My whole world is falling, going crazy

There is no escaping now, I'm

Cracking up

(I have been waiting for these visitors)

Now I hear them moving

Muffled noises coming through the door I feel I'm

Cracking up

(I have been waiting for these visitors)

Voices growing louder, irritation building

And I'm close to fainting

Cracking up

(I have been waiting for these visitors)

They must know by now I'm in here trembling

In a terror ever-growing

Cracking up

(I have been waiting for these visitors)

My whole world is falling...
