When you left, the door was
(slamming!)
You paused in the doorway
As though a thought stole you away.
I watch the world pull you away.
(Lock it!)
So I run into the hall,
(Lock it!)
Into the corridor.
There's a door in the house
(slamming).
I hear the lift descending.
I hear it hit the landing,
See the hackles on the cat
(standing).
With my key I
(lock it).
With my key I
(lock it up).
With my key I
(lock it).
With my key I
(lock it up).
I am the concierge chez-moi, honey.
Won't letcha in for love, nor money.
My home, my joy.
I'm barred and bolted and I
(Won't let you in).
(Get out of my house!)
No stranger's feet
Will enter me.
I wash the panes,
I clean the stains away.
This house is as old as I am.
This house knows all I have done.
They come with their weather hanging 'round them,
But can't knock my door down!
With my key I
(lock it).
With my key I
(lock it).
This house is full of m-m-my mess.
This house is full of m-m-mistakes.
This house is full of m-m-madness.
This house is full of, full of, full of fight!
With my keeper I
(clean up).
With my keeper I
(clean it all up).
With my keeper I
(clean up).
With my keeper I
(clean it all up).
I am the concierge chez-moi, honey.
Won't letcha in for love, nor money.
My home, my joy.
I'm barred and bolted and I
(Won't let you in).
(Get out of my house!)
No stranger's feet
Will enter me.
I wash the panes.
I clean the stains.
"Woman let me in!
Let me bring in the memories!
Woman let me in!
Let me bring in the Devil Dreams!"
I will not let you in!
Don't you bring back the reveries.
I turn into a bird,
Carry further than the word is heard.
"Woman let me in!
I turn into the wind.
I blow you a cold kiss,
Stronger than the song's hit."
I will not let you in.
I face towards the wind.
I change into the Mule.
Hee-haw! Hee-haw!
