Analysis of Knock, Knock
JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)
Sound of knock at death's door
Not enough for me to answer in fear
It is that and nothing more
Just being very sick won't get me near
Knowing what awaits on other side
Grim Reaper can keep on tapping
In life from death you can't really hide
You can only try while slyly escaping
