Lyrics that go "clunk"

Ok. This doesn't bother me. In fact, I kind of like the oddity of it. But as long as you're talking about rooms and hearing, I think If Anyone Falls is funny.

I hear a voice in the room next to mine
Feels good sounds good
Closes the door from behind
And another voice comes thru the door

I feel like she's hearing something going on in the hotel room next to her. But how does she know the unseen person closes the door from behind? Well, I guess it's behind (or more distant) than the first voice she heard. Also, if the guy she was hearing in the hotel room was alone, until the other voice came along, why could she hear him. Who was he talking to when he was by himself?

Anyway, the screwy words create illicit images in my head, involving eavesdropping on another couple and wanting to be involved in what's going on next door. Those images don't hurt though. They enhance it. Gives it an air of mystery and a sense of the forbidden.
