Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know something about
Opening the windows and doors
I know how to move quietly
Creep across creaky, wooden floors
I know where to find precious things
In all your cupboards and drawers
[Verse 2]
Slipping the clippers
Slipping the clippers through telephone wires
The sense of isolation inspires, inspires me
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Intruder's happy in the dark
Intruder come
Intruder come and he leave his mark
Leave his mark
Leave his mark
[Verse 5]
I am the intruder
Written by: Peter Gabriel
