Caedmon`s Call Potiphar`s Door Lyrics

Potiphar`s Door Lyrics

When I was a little boy, I couldn't know the cost of going to war

 When I counted 'em and walked that aisle, you know that I couldn't count that
high

 But now I can count that high

 And Im counting' 1, 2, 3, 4

 Dont wanna fight this good fight no more

 

 So Im knocking on Potiphar's door sayin'

 "Hey, on second thought, I might be in for some more"

 So I'm knocking on Potiphar's door

 While the keeper of the keys and the knocker on the door says

 "Dont you live for what I died for"

 

 So Im staring' through the window screen

 Wishing I could do all those things Ive seen

 I know it's sin that leads to death but it looks like fun to me

 And fun is the one thing I need

 Because this race has knocked the wind all out of me

 

 There are so many things I wish I had done before I repented

 And when I said it, sometimes I wonder if I really meant it

 I have this bad habit of raisin' the dead

 And inviting them to eat at the table in my head

 

 The old house it has been plundered, the deed has changed hands

 The owner is all bound up and exiled to a foreign land
