Lyrics

Intruder (Live 1982)

I know something about opening windows and doors

I know how to move quietly to creep across creaky wooden floors

I know where to find precious things

In all your cupboards and drawers

Slipping the clippers

Slipping the clippers through the telephone wires

A sense of isolation, a sense of isolation

Inspires me

Hey

Hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

I like to feel the suspense when I'm certain you know I am there

I like you lying awake, your baited breath charging the air

I like the touch and the smell of all the pretty dresses you wear

Intruder's happy in the dark

Intruder come

Intruder come and leave, leave his mark, leave his mark

Hey

Hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

I am the intruder
