Let Me In
MC Chris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gozer the Traveller,
he will come in one of the pre-chosen forms.
During the rectification of the Vuldronaii,
the Traveller came as a large and moving Torb!
Then, during the third reconciliation
of the last of the Meketrex Supplicants
they chose a new form for him...
that of a Giant Sloar!
many Shubs and Zulls knew what it was
to be roasted in the depths of the Sloar
that day I can tell you.

CPA everyday I really want to do your taxes
My door is always closin' when I want to gain access
Maybe this place is haunted; I've heard rumors and myths
But if it doesn't pay it's taxes then it doesn't exist
I always forget my key wish my neighbor'd keep a copy
Always have to get the doorman, elevator to the lobby
Always trying to stay fit, vitamins and exercise
As for Barret I can't bear it she's too easy on the eyes
TV's on won't respond maybe Dana's depressed
So I climbed out on the ledge like a baby possessed
I couldn't pull the cable what I want is out of reach
Like the lady, like the key, like the life I sadly seek
I tried to throw a party four years on the job
A promotional expense it's a tax write off
Clients instead of friends because my friends are often not
Real, what's the deal, did somebody bring a dog?

Somebody let me in they'll join if we get our dance on
Yes, handsome or puny, pale, male, and hands on
Somebody let me in I just wanna take part
Whether it's a party in my apartment or the compartments of my heart

I thought it was a dog, I thought it was a bear
I took the elevator and I think it took the stairs
It chased me through the park got cornered on the green
I thought I had a milkbone now I'll never know Janine
The diners didn't mind they went back to their snails
I got possessed by a demon now their scheme would prevail
I asked a horse a question but the driver declined
You will perish in flames, you and all of your kind!
My eyes turned red and I growled I ran insane through the city
I got dropped off at the Busters, secretary was pretty
Sport a spaghetti strainer, my noodle was a no brainer
Slapped some pizza on my face and smelled the popcorn container
Speaking of the unit blew up and the prisoners broke free
My captors got distracted so I opted to flee
This is the real thing, to my building where my feelings kind of falter
Once a bastard now a master had to have her on the alter

Somebody let me in they'll join if we get our dance on
Yes, handsome or puny, pale, male, and hands on
Somebody let me in I just wanna take part
Whether it's a party in my apartment or the compartments of my heart

Woke up feeling great the sensations sublime
The biggest interdimensional cross rip since 1909
Tunguska it was nothing used to being misused
It was a non-issue when they wanted my brain tissue
I could of sworn we did it though she denied it emphatically
Tragically it had to be; my slacks were slashed dramatically
Actually cut to a court room where a gavel kept hammering
Legal expertise was weak so I was nervous and stammering
Two Italian ghosts got all our foes back on our side
Ghostbusters back in the action now the city could sigh
Mood altering slime was in the sewers and pipes
A Carpathian painting had us all hating on life
My role was baby sitter when I wish I was a Buster
Asked Janine out on a date with all the courage I could muster
Super Mario Brothers, Parcheesi, Boggle or Twister
We fed the baby french bread pizza then I guess I kinda kissed her

Somebody let me in they'll join if we get our dance on
Yes, handsome or puny, pale, male, and hands on
Somebody let me in I just wanna take part
Whether it's a party in my apartment or the compartments of my heart

The baby got abducted I had royally screwed up
Got the crew out of Park View and decided to suit up
No longer an accountant I was a man on a mission
Keep sharp, stay fit, and make good decisions
Slimer was my driver we decided to keep the peace
I tried to capture him with KFC in a deleted scene
Aimed my protons at the Met. all of it covered in slime
It went away I saved the day no longer lame but divine

Somebody let me in they'll join if we get our dance on
Yes, handsome or puny, pale, male, and hands on




Somebody let me in I just wanna take part
Whether it's a party in my apartment or the compartments of my heart
