Behind the door of every house,
In every street, in every town
A story is unfolding...
A story is unfolding
Of love and hate,
Remorseless fate;
Of hopes and fears,
Of smiles and tears...
Of dreams that lie a-mouldering!
Behind the door of every house,
In every street, in every town
The stage is set for playing...
The stage is set for playing
An act of crime,
A pantomime;
Sweet romance,
A ritual dance...
The characters are praying!
Behind the door of every house,
In every street, in every town
The people are awaiting...
The people are awaiting
To bear and die,
The years go by...
The wedding spree
The funeral tea...
And still they go on mating!
And to the one,
The only one:
Remember when
The need of man
Is great again!
The prayers take off
Ascending,
All filled of love
To the One above
Asking for...
Asking for...
Asking for...
Asking for a happy ending!
A happy ending...
A happy ending...
Yeah!
