Potiphar's Door Lyrics

When I was a little boy,
I couldn't know the cost of going to war
When I counted 'em and walked that aisle,
you know that I couldn't count that high
But now I can count that high
And Im counting' 1, 2, 3, 4
Don't wanna' fight this good fight no more.
[Chorus]
So I'm knocking on Potiphar's door sayin'
"Hey, on second thought,
I might be in for some more"
So I'm knocking on Potiphar's door
While the keeper of the keys
and the knocker on the door says
"Don't you live for what I died for"
So I'm staring' through the window screen,
wishing I could do all those things I've seen
I know it's sin that leads to death
but it looks like fun to me
And fun is the one thing I need
Because this race has knocked
the wind all out of me.

[Repeat Chorus]

There are so many things I wish
I had done before I repented
And when I said it, sometimes I wonder
if I really meant it
I have this bad habit of raisin' the dead
And inviting them to eat
at the table in my head
The old house it has been plundered,
the deed has changed hands
The owner is all bound up
and exiled to a foreign land

[Repeat Chorus]
