Intrusion/Confusion
I'm going back to see my girl
I hope it's all the same as then
I'm going back to see my girl
I hope it's all the same as then
I'm going back to see my girl
Intrusion, oh pardon the intrusion
This must not be the room I was in the other night
Intrusion, an optical illusion, you see, you see
The number's the same as then
The color's the same as then
But something just isn't really right
Retrace your steps and see what happens, happens (no no no)
Back from her doorway to your home (you see, you see, you see)
Back to your lonely room with shattered illusions (no no no)
Was that her, yes, yes it was
Was that him, yeah, yeah it was
The girl was familiar but he wasn't me, oh
Intrusion, you think you know where you stand
When you're not even standing, you're flat on shaky ground
No clue then, and everything you knew then
Was only true in specialized cases, yes, in specialized cases
But in your case it wasn't true at all
Retrace your steps and see what happens, happens (no no no)
Back to the day that you were born (you see, you see, you see)
Father and mother were just pictures, photos (no no no)
The color was, same as yours
The surname was, same as yours
But you got the feeling, the feeling, the feeling
Intrusion, oh la-dee-dee
Intrusion, oh oh, pardon me
Intrusion, oh la-dee-dee
It's lovely sitting next to you
There's no one within miles of you
It's lovely sitting next to you
There's no one within miles of you
Intrusion, you think you know where you stand
And you're not even standing, you're flat on shaky ground
Intrusion, and everything you knew then
Was only true in specialized cases, just in specialized cases
But in your case, in your case
It wasn't the case, not at all
Intrusion
