Anybody Home? Songtext
von JT Music

I know this is the guy
Listen, I know this is the guy
Quentin, you know this is the guy!
I′m sneaking with suspicion, but I need to peek inside

"Sorry, no one's home" (where′d he go?)
"Or so it would appear" (I don't see)
"Trust us, you're alone" (unlock the door)
"But there′s one thing you should fear" (I′ll find the keys)
"Danger's on the road" (here he comes)
"We can steer you clear" (buckle up)
"You should just go home" (better run)
"′Cause there's nothing to see here"


I′ve come to get the scoop, tell me why the kids are gone
I'm gonna keep diggin′ until I get to the bottom
Since they went simming, it's like everyone forgot 'em
I′ve found zero marbles, the town must′ve lost 'em!
I′ve yet to meet my neighbor, what's he up to at night?
There′s something in his basement, and my yarn's getting light
I heard a word on the street, he′s just the unluckiest guy
But he's certainly hiding skeletons, I'm wondering why, ′cause I′m like-

Uh, knock-knock, ding-dong
Is anybody home right now? (Hello?)
Because it's been too long
Since anybody has come out (anyone home?)
Did I witness somethin′ wicked in a window?
Just thought I'd wanna drop on by (how ya′ doin'?)
You had me at the jump, from the get-go
′Cause the lights are on, but it's like no one's inside

He′s got the cops in his pocket, so I′m doin' their job
I′m just a cutthroat reporter, it's my duty to prod
Officer, I′m sorry to stop you from nodding off
You should probably toss the donuts, and get back on your watch!
Next up, the taxidermist, "Mister Otto, how ya' doin′?
Had any recent projects that were, I don't know, human?"
This is a hit piece, I'm on the trigger ′bout to pull it
But they′re dodgin' questions like I′m dodgin' bullets


No pun intended, that end could not have been deader
So I headed to the bakery ′cause I had yet to vet her
I'm cookin′ up a story, help me with the recipe
It's about invasive neighbors, I got one next to me
But the baker was evasive, so I took aim at the mayor
I don't mean to interrupt, but could you cut the record player?
Beg your pardon, I′m a cat person, so I′d hate to hound ya
But in case you didn't hear before, I′ll say it louder!

Uh, knock-knock, ding-dong
Is anybody home right now? (Hello?)
'Cause something′s awfully wrong
I'm gonna get it figured out (I′m coming in)
I've found a way to weasel through the window
I wonder what you're tryin′ to hide (′cause I like to pry)
Suspicion can be grippin', so I must know
Why nobody′s home, but they left on all the lights

You don't know what I′ve been through
(You don't know what he′s been through)
All the hell that I've seen (all the hell that he's seen)
One more nightmare to get through
Trying to survive the design of my dreams (la-la-la-la-la-la)
I′ve built and I′ve lost
I know too well the cost of audacious innovation
But with you gone, I can move on
Now I've lost all of my patience

After all these years and after all these tears
Somebody′s come to threaten me again and all of my peers? (No!)
My home's my own, this is my zone to roam
It′s my house (but I doubt that you're all alone)
I know what you′re up to, I've gathered all the evidence
Honestly, a bit of therapy could help your betterment
But with all the tension building, masculinity reigns
So we'll both bury our trauma and go on with our days
Well, I guess I got to the bottom, now I′m closin′ the case (go on and-)

Knock-knock, ding-dong
Can't make it to the door right now (go away)
I know it′s been so long
Since anyone went in or out (bye-bye)
If you witnessed somethin' wicked in the window
You probably don′t wanna pry (hey)
I'll have you at the jump from the get-go
′Cause the lights are on, but it's like no one's inside

No hellos, just goodbyes
You should run for the exercise
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
