Opportunity Knocks by Modern Tongues from Costa Mesa United States

opportunity knocks

verse 1:
pardon my disillusionment please don’t be unkind
my dreams lie on the floor
i fall down the stairs, night after night again and again
i don’t want what i need

verse 2:
make a cruel mockery of my dreams
all i have is a closet full of ghosts
i was born with a crown of thorns to a rude awakening
am i the man who would be king?

chorus:
opportunity knocks on my door and runs away
i’m going to catch him in the act one day

verse 3:
i walk for miles through the dusty night
there’s hardly any souls for me to meet
please take away this crown of thorns from me tonight
am i the man who would be king?

solo

chorus out:
opportunity knocks on my door and runs away
i’m going to catch him in the act one day
opportunity knocks on my door and runs away
i’m going to catch him in the act one day
