peter gabriel - intruder (live) [athens 1987] lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
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

[chorus 1]
slipping the clippers
slipping the clippers through the telephone wires
a sense of isolation
a sense of isolation inspires me

[interlude]

[verse 2]
i like to feel the suspense
when i’m certain you know i am there
i like you lying awake
your bated breath charging the air
i like the touch and the smell
of all the pretty dresses you wear

[chorus 2]
intruder’s happy in the dark
intruder come
intruder come and he leave his mark
leave his mark

[interlude]

[outro]
i am the intruder
“this is… a song about nationalism. this is specifically dedicated to the forty-three thousand unnecessary victims of a totally unnecessary war in nicaragua.”
