Cars, The - Keep On Knocking Lyrics






oh well the long street goes
for miles and miles
and it's picking up some strangers
and it's picking up some smiles

and the half breeds holler
they're educated guesses
and they got a lot of cheers
you guessed it you guessed it

they keep you in follow mode
they keep you in follow mode
take the street you never rode
they keep you, they keep on knocking
like the partys on, they keep on knocking
like the partys gone from dark til dawn

I got some friends
in random places
all kinds of ideas
all kinds of faces

they keep their ready shoes on
they keep their shirts on ice
and they're looking for the future
to loosen the vice

they keep you in follow mode
they hold up their signs
they keep you in follow mode
most of the time

they keep on knocking like the partys on
they keep on knocking from dark til dawn

they keep you in follow mode
they hold up their signs
they keep you in follow mode
all the time

they keep on knocking like the partys on
they keep on knocking yeah from dark til dawn

Cars, The Keep On Knocking Comments
  1. B.... B....

    This should've been the lead single off the album instead of the heavy promotion they did for Blue Tip.

  2. b.... v....

    WOW, Killer!!!!!!

  3. C.... D....

    RIP Ric and RIP Ben..

    C.... D....

    It's a lonely night ..... for me .

  4. S.... ....

    Just learned that the founder and lead singer Ric Ocasek was found dead in his home earlier today, was 70 years of age.

    S.... ....

    Very sad. Ric was 75

  5. S.... O....

    Just heard this yesterdeeeeeee 4duh first time...
    #wtf

  6. a.... ....

    Thanks to the mainstream media for not sharing this! They rather play rude hateful crap! Great artist! Thanks you cars for always being a great band!

  7. d.... h....

    Need Bens voice badly. Ocasek just doesnt have the vocal range or tone to be the main voice on their songs.

    d.... h....

    Ben's dead...it would have sounded horrible...

  8. D.... O....

    Elliot Easton's guitar solo in this song reminds me of American Woman by the Guess Who. I really like that!

  9. A.... S....

    Very poor promotional airplay.

  10. A.... B....

    Sad the mainstream would not promote this great album.

  11. A.... P....

    Once again, Elliot Easton proves he's the most underrated guitar player in rock and roll. His solo isn't fancy or anything; it's just perfect.

    A.... P....

    He is under rated, just like the guitarist for Pat Benetar. As far as over rated goes, Slash from GUNSROSES and Prince are a couple I would pick.

    A.... P....

    To Andrew and Dave...………………… Anyone who uses the term "underrated", as if they were self proclaimed "Raters", is overrated.  Whose rating scale are you using?  Your own?!  Isn't that the funniest thing.  Who certified you as "one who rates"?  Do you really have nothing worthwhile to say?  Is your rating system better than mine?  Anyone who actually plays guitar, knows very well of Eastons abilities, and we knew it long before your ingenious ratings came out.  Ya just gotta love the entire youtube crew who cannot seem to comment without adding their self indulged rating system upon the world.

    A.... P....

    1284 everyone who loves music and is a non Raider can clearly see that he was underrated LOL.
    But we do know what they mean by that how many times have you heard Santana, thrown in every magazine.
    He never got the spot light that he deserved , talked about on the radio shows, the induction to the Hall of Fame on and on

    A.... P....

    @12B4Christ Im with you dude.

  12. L.... ....

    Keep on rockin in 2018 !!

  13. T.... ....

  55. M.... H....

    This is one of the best songs on the album!! Atleast Easton gets to go beyond string plucking like on their singles. I agree, it sounds like a 80's rock song!

  56. L.... ....

    They played this one live. I was at the first show in Seattle. I knew immedialty this was a great song.

  57. A.... ....

    A quarter-century later and they've still got it!

  58. L.... F....

    Good album!

  59. J.... B....

    Really like Elliot Easton's tasteful solos on this song.
