City of Doors Lyrics by Mary Crowell

Acolytes of the Machine and Other Gaming Stories

2012

[Chorus]
Come in (come in), come in! (Come in!)
Come into the City of Doors, of Doors
Stick around the city; you have time to explore
You can't leave by the way you came in
[Verse]
Come in (come in), come in! (Come in!)
Come into the City of Doors, of Doors
Saints rubbin' shoulders with the lowest of whores
They can't leave by the way they came in
[Verse]
If you crack a door open who knows where you'll be?
With your best friend or your worst enemy?
Sooner or later you may find your Connect
It's in the place that you least expect, so
[Verse]
Come in (come in), come in! (Come in!)
Come into the City of Doors, of Doors
Dark angels winkin' while the beggars implore
They can't leave by the way they came in
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
There's a little old man a-keeps watch with a drum
Plays it all day, and he plays with his thumb
Searching; he's looking for the door to go home
Now it's the place he's content to roam. So
[Verse]
Come in (come in), come in! (Come in!)
Come into the City of Doors, of Doors
You've traveled farther than you've ever before
You can't leave by the way you came in
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
When the little old man a-wandered down here
Found our fine bar, and he ordered a beer
Sang us a song and said his name was Bernard
Smiled as he tipped; then he gave his card. So
[Verse]
Come in (come in), come in! (Come in!)
Come into the City of Doors, of Doors
You listen close, 'cause he's a master of lore
He can't leave by the way he came in
[Chorus/Outro]
Come in (come in), come in! (Come in!)
Come into the City of Doors, of Doors
Stick around the city; you have time to explore
You can't leave by the way you came in
You can't leave by the way you came in
You can't leave by the way you came in
