Intruder

FRANCIS GRIFFITHS, PETER GABRIEL

Lyrics Translation

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
The sense of isolation, the sense of isoloation
Inspires me

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

Intruders happy in the dark
Intruder come
Intruder come and he leave his mark, leave his mark
Leave his mark
Leave his mark
Leave his mark
Leave his mark
Leave his mark
Leave his mark

I am the intruder

[Chorus]
(Hah, hah)
Huh, huh, huh, huh
Huh, huh, huh, huh

[Verse 1]
Ich find’ überall Einlass
Ich knacke Fenster und Tür
Ich find’ schnell meine Wege
Der Kater schleicht über den Flur
Ich find’ all deine Sachen
Versteckt im Schrank und der Uhr

[Pre-Chorus]
Besser, besser, besser, besser, besser, besser
Besser mit dem Messer die Leitung verlegen
Wir sind unter uns
Ich lass’ mich erregen, erregen, erregen

[Chorus]
(Hah, hah)
Huh, huh, huh, huh
Huh, huh, huh, huh

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Ich fühl’ diese Hochspannung
Wenn ich weiß, du weißt, ich bin da
Ich fühl’ die Angst und den Atem
Der stockt und dann fragt, was da war
Ich fühl’ die kalte Seide
Geruch in Kleidern ganz sonderbar

[Pre-Chorus]
Eindringling, glücklich nachts nur
Eindringling kommt
Eindringling kommt
Und legt, legt seine Spur

[Chorus]
(Hah) Seine Spur
(Hah) Seine Spur
Huh, huh, huh, huh
Huh, huh, huh, huh
Huh, huh, huh, huh
Huh, huh, huh, huh

[Outro]
Eindringling
Eindringling, Eindringling
Eindringling, Eindringling
Eindringling
