Michael Mott – Behind Closed Doors Lyrics
Artist: Michael Mott
Song: Behind Closed Doors
These are dangerous times
When salons are almost crimes
So careful what you share beyond these walls
Out there a thunder hums
As the inquisition comes
But here at gretchen wagner’s
Your sanctuary calls
Good evening, my friends-my curious croissants! welcome! together, we’ve kept our little city of hertz safe from the inquisition. outside, the world is raging and burning, but here in my home, you can…
Say what you feel
Feel whom you’d like
Anything goes
Here in my reich
Safe in my home
Home in my den
Do what you want
Then do it again
In here the universe is yours
So, trust me, you’re safe behind closed doors
In mainz the prince archbishop peter wages his bloody inquisition
Men and women are burned every day!
And right here in hertz the bishop francis is preaching that our salon is really a coven of witches!
Call me a witch
While i’ll refute
You’re on the hunt;
I know your route
I am the prey
Pray that it’s quick
When it goes in
Ill own the stick
Believe each piece of me is yours
But i know, my heart’s behind closed doors!
The bishop francis goes on and on about the evil that has penetrated our city!
He says there’s dangers around every crumbling curve and corner!
His sermons about the depth of our ladies’ necklines and the size of our gentle men’s codpieces have one goal. he wants to bring the inquisition to hertz!
The inquisition’s coming and it’s picking up its pace!
But the new baron says he won’t allow the inquisition into hertz!
But in his new position will he hold onto his place?
Karl? does this codpiece showcase things well?
The baron is a baby, can he even keep it up?
Tell us what you’re doing in his chambers
Here and now!
Tell us every single tiny detail
Then show us how!
There! you see, my sticky strudels? the very heavens compel to keep it to myself!
Gretchen, cut the b#llsh#t!
Tell us what you’re thinking now!
Ah yes, thinking! that’s why we’re here. hilda? agnes dear, what is our first reading tonight?
Aristotle
Wonderful. who would like to start?
Sometimes late at night there’s a lonely girl
Hiding from the shadows of the day…
Now that we’re here
Hear what we say
Feast on our facts
We’re here all day
Lap up our wine
Whine all you wish
Empty your fears
Come taste my fish!
Chouquettes
The thinking world is yours!
But only in here behind closed doors
Hilda. i’ve got to run outside for a moment
What?
They’re here
Who?
I’ll be back!
Out there those who run the inquisition
Say we’re wrong
In here we can read and challenge thinking
So join our song!
Shhh…
Follow your nose
Know where to rest
Sniff out t he path
Come be our guest
Seek out the way
Weigh all the facts
Broaden your mind
Then, come relax
In here the thinking world endures
But only when kept behind closed doors
Karl. my umbrella! my codpiece
The heavens align
Follow that star
Chart out your course
Hide who you are!
One you in here
One you out there
Pick up a mask
Choose which to wear
Frau faustus
How do you know who i am?
Let them think the face you wear is yours
Remove it!
When you’re behind closed doors
