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 inspires
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 leave his mark,
Leave his mark
