Knocking On Heaven’s Door Lyrics by The Holophonics

MaSKArades Vol. 1

2012

[Verse 1]
Mama, take this badge off of me
I can’t use it anymore
Yeah, it’s getting dark, too dark to see
I feel I’m knockin' upon heaven’s door
[Chorus]
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
[Verse 2]
Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can’t shoot them anymore
That long black cloud is coming down
I feel I’m knockin' on heaven’s door
[Chorus]
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door
Yeah, knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Ooh
[Chorus]
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door (yeah)
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door (oh yeah)
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door (oh)
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
Woah, woah
Pick it up, pick this up
Woah, woah (hahaha)
Woah, woah (hahaha)
Woah, woah (Holophonics peace out)
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
[Music fades out]
[Silence]
[Music starts again]
One more time!
[Chorus]
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door (oh yeah)
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door (hahaha what)
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
(tsktsktsk tsktsktsk tsktsktsk tsktsktsk, pick it up pick it up, hahaha)
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
(that's what happens in ska, it's just, crazy)
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door (oh yeah)
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
[Conversation]
I'm surprised you didn't pull like one of those, like, brrrrrrrr things like in the back. Bew! Haha
So- So now it's fading out again
Again?
Stop the fade out
There's no stopping it
No, we need to stop it
It's- yeahahahaha
It's one of those things that just, it never goes away, it just, like, gets, it gets down, like exponentially smaller, and just never actually dies
This is like the point in the movie when like the guy says something really important, and the girl's like, "Oh my god."
I don't think- No. I don't think this is like that at all
And then when it fades back in, they- they-
They're doing it
They do it. Yeah
[Laughter]
They, they will, they will that's what I'm saying
Yeah, I know, I've seen that movie
That's hardly the situation here
How have I lived my life without you (Yeah, it-)
Hahaha
Why- Why are we just- Why are we having that conversation? Why is that- that going on right now?
I c- There's not a better way to end this album apparently
This is so long, this is so long, oh my god. Why won't it die?
Haha
I guess we'll just, we'll fade it out until- until the album's over
Fade the fade out. Fade out the fade out
Oh my god. Oh... it's so long
This would be excruciating to listen to. No one's gonna listen this far. No one even cares. We've just reached the end of the little cone. That is the sound
If you record it, they will listen?
Definitely not. Definitely not in this case
Pshhyeah, I've been in a few, I've been in a few bands
[Laughter]
[Music resumes suddenly]
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door (AAAAAAAAA)
[Music stops]
[Spoken]
Shut the door, baby, don't say a word
Oh! [Laughter]
Alright, that's great
That's enough bullshit for now. (That's enough bullshit for now.)
