Knock Three Times

Autumn leaves blowing across my floor
Windows broken out by the mean kids who live next door
And there she is
Well not her exactly but the box she likes to sleep in
She was so cute in a skinny kinda way.
And they say,
Knock three times on your coffin if you want my love
Twice on the pipe is the answer, answer is no
She put with all the taunts all the nasty things they’d say
She’d smile and pretend to ignore them but she stored it all away
Don’t blame me, don’t blame me
They drove her ‘round the bend.
She was so cute in a ‘why-don’t-you-get-out-and-see-the-sun’ kinda way
And they say,
Knock three times on your coffin if you want my love
Twice on the pipe is the answer, answer is no, no, no
The world grew dark
Insane men ruled
Our stomachs kept on grumbling
But we had fun
We danced a lot if you don’t count all that stumbling.
She was so cute in a ‘why-don’t-you-put-some-on-meat-on-those-bones’ kinda way, kinda way
Kinda waste not much than the mice
And skeletons that run across my floor
The mice and skeletons that dance across my floor
Knock three times on your coffin if you want my love
Twice on the pipe is the answer, answer is no, no, no
Knock three times on your coffin if you want my love
Twice on the pipe is the answer, answer is no
Knock three times
Knock three times
