Lyrics

[MAN 1] Well, whaddaya know? [WOMAN 2] Well, whaddaya know? [MAN 2] Well, whaddaya know? [WOMAN 1] Well, whaddaya know? [MAN 1 ] In front of me now [WOMAN 2] In front of me [WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 1 & MAN 2] Is an open door I'm moving ahead, not sure of the way And yet there's a light that I'm heading for [MAN 1 & WOMAN 2] It's closer than ever (Closer than) [MAN 2, WOMAN 2 & WOMAN 1] Closer than ever (Ever) (Closer than) [WOMAN 2, MAN 1 & MAN 2, WOMAN 1] Closer and closer and closer and closer and (Ever, ever) [WOMAN 2] Fresh out of bed, your life is outracing you There dead ahead, another one's facing you Seems like at times they'rе practically chasing you Everywhere anothеr door [MAN 2] One day the doors are locked and you're sick of them Next day they're yours and you have your pick of 'em Finding the proper key, that's the trick of them [MAN 2 & WOMAN 2] Every day another door [WOMAN 1] Doors to a place that no one knows [MAN 1] Doors that are openings, doors that close [WOMAN 1] Doors that you pass through every day [MAN 1] Turn into doors that bar the way [WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 1 & MAN 2] Doors to keep out the chill of night Doors to keep secrets locked up tight Just when you have things set When it's all in place When your life is good There's another [MAN 1 & MAN 2, WOMAN 1 & WOMAN 2] Doorways are good, they can be enlightening (Door) Doorways can change you, which isn't frightening So tell me why my stomach is tightening Looking at another door? [WOMAN 1 & WOMAN 2, MAN 1 & MAN 2] Doors can be wide, yes, that can be verified (A door) Moving outside, the air can be rarefied I want to go, but why am I terrified Looking at another door? [WOMAN 1 & MAN 1] What's on the other side, yes, what? [WOMAN 2 & MAN 2] Something I want and haven't got [WOMAN 1 & MAN 1] Over the threshold, there's my shot [WOMAN 2 & MAN 2] Will I go in there? I will not [WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 1 & MAN 2] Maybe a brand new job awaits Twenty or thirty different fates I'll be in charge at last Get my life in shape And when all that ends There's another door What's in the skies from Boston to Florida? High-rises rising each being horrider What hits your eyes as you hit a corridor? Nothing but a wall of doors What would you give to see what is hiding there? All kinds of people just coinciding there What kind of secret lives are residing there Lining up behind those doors? [WOMAN 2] What's going on inside those rooms? [MAN 1 & MAN 2] Kinky behavior, one presumes [WOMAN 1] Here there's a spinster with her cats [MAN 2] Next door a kid who sleeps on mats [WOMAN 1 & MAN 1] Here there's a family bland as pie [WOMAN 2 & MAN 2] Next door a girl who's once a guy [WOMAN 1, WOMAN 2, MAN 1 & MAN 2] What would you give to buy Some electric eye That would let you spy On what's behind those— People you never met Who are not like you Who are just like you Are behind those— Just when you have things set When it's all in place When your life is good There's another door Every day another door!
