[Intro]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]
Squatting on doorsteps
Following footsteps
Nocturnal habits are surveyed with interest
So we crawl into corners
Ignore any callers
And imagine our radiators clang for our neighbours

[Interlude]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
When we crawl on all fours
Upon the cushioned floor
Still they cling to the walls and knock on our doors

[Refrain]
And the tendency for tenants is tenacity

[Interlude]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 3]
The paint is cracked
And the paper peels
The plaster falls
And a body reels softly

[Verse 4]
Forty-watt bulb swing from a light cloud
On lawnmower groan, the carpet has grown
But they have eyes at the keyholes and ears at the walls
Yes, they have eyes at the keyholes and ears at the walls

[Refrain]
And the tendency for tenants is secrecy

[Outro]
Shh, shh
Ooh-ooh
Shh, shh
Ooh-ooh
