[Verse 1]
Hear that knock at the pane?
Wrong time, wrong lane
Black boots on the porch
Cold breath in the rain
Mask in the moonlight
Knife edge, no shame
Michael on the steps
And he don’t say my name
White sheet, black eyes
One call, then the chase
He move like a rumor
That crawled through the place
Bed all torn up
But I’m still awake
I seen worse shadows
Than the ones at my gate
[Pre-Chorus]
Better lock that door
Better kill that glow
Hear the floorboards cry
When the dead boys roll
One, two, three
Now the whole house froze
If you hear that knock
Then you already know
[Chorus]
Knock at my door
Knock-knock again
Michael at the door
And he brought his friends
Knock at my door
I can’t pretend
Freddy in the dream
Saying “run it then”
Knock at my door
Knock-knock again
Scream in the hall
Now the night won’t end
Knock at my door
Till the walls all bend
If you hear that knock
Don’t let him in
[Verse 2]
Striped sweater, claws out
Heat in the dark
Freddy in the alley
With a cut on my bark
I’m hearing that laugh
Like it came from the floor
Every time I blink
He’s closer to the door
Ghostface on the line
Voice cold, all teeth
Talking through a mask
Like he know what I keep
I keep my soul tucked
I keep my pulse low
But the hallway twists
When the candle flame blow
Pumpkin on the sill
Red hand on the wood
All these legends crowding
Like they misunderstood
[Pre-Chorus]
Better lock that door
Better kill that glow
Hear the floorboards cry
When the dead boys roll
One, two, three
Now the whole house froze
If you hear that knock
Then you already know
[Chorus]
Knock at my door
Knock-knock again
Michael at the door
And he brought his friends
Knock at my door
I can’t pretend
Freddy in the dream
Saying “run it then”
Knock at my door
Knock-knock again
Scream in the hall
Now the night won’t end
Knock at my door
Till the walls all bend
If you hear that knock
Don’t let him in
[Bridge]
I seen the shadows line up
At the edge of my frame
Whole block went silent
When they spoke my name
If the porch light flickers
And the dogs all hide
That’s the kind of warning
You can’t brush aside
[Final Chorus]
Knock at my door
Knock-knock again
Michael at the door
And he brought his friends
Knock at my door
I can’t pretend
Freddy in the dream
Saying “run it then”
Knock at my door
Knock-knock again
Scream in the hall
Now the night won’t end
Knock at my door
Till the walls all bend
If you hear that knock
Don’t let him in
