KNOCKING AT YOUR BACK DOOR
(Ian Gillan / Ritchie Blackmore / Roger Glover)
Deep Purple - 1984


Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And none of us could reach that high
She came on like a teaser
I had to touch and please her
Enjoy a little paradise
The log was in my pocket
When Lucy met the rockett
She never knew the reason why

I can't deny it 
With that smile on her face
Oh it's not the kill,
It's the thrill of the chase

Feel it coming, 
It's knocking at the door
You know it's no good running, 
It's not against the law
The point of no return 
An' now you know the score
An' now you're learning, 
Aha, what's knockin' at your back door

Sweet Nancy was so fancy
To get into her pantry
We had to be the aristocracy
The members that she toyed with
At her city club
Were something in diplomacy
So we put her on the hit list
Of a common cunning linguist
A master of many tongues
And now she eases gently
From her Austin to her Bentley
Suddenly she feels so young

I can't deny it 
With that smile on her face
Oh it's not the kill, 
It's the thrill of the chase

Feel it coming, 
It's knocking at the door
You know it's no good running, 
No it's not against the law
The point of no return, 
Now you know the score
An' now you're learning, 
Aha, what's knockin' at your back door

Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And one of us could reach that high

I can't deny it 
With that smile on my face
Oh it's not the kill, 
It's the thrill of the chase

Feel it coming, knocking at the door
You know it's no good running
Now it's knockin' at your door
Aha, knockin' at your back door
