When you're outspoken, a bit on the paranoid side, and have large tortoises that can go bump in the night...LOL

Lyrics

Fitful slumber interrupted
Brain still foggy
But I swear I just heard
Knocking at my front door

Who on earth could it be
It’s not quite quarter to three

Surely nobody would be coming around
This time of night?

Maybe just a distressed neighbor
Or someone traipsing in their sleep
But a newfound fear grips me
Could it be the secret police?

(spooky solo breakdown)

I freeze in horror
Wait to hear if it happens again (knock knock)
Do I dare move a muscle
Or utter a peep?

I know they’ve just got to be watching
They’ve surely read what I think

But that sort of thing can’t happen here - right?

Trembling I creep downstairs slowly
Dreading my imminent fate
I reach the darkened front room
Oh no it’s…just the stupid tortoise!

This time, anyway…

I don’t trust those tortoises! They are silent but deadly! A dark song about tortoises well you certainly got that at the epic level!

But who is the tortoise working for? :)
