Peter Gabriel — Intruder Live Athens 1987

[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."
