Creepin’ Up the Backstairs

Lyrics

She said "I'm Rosie"
I said "I thought you were Lucy", she said "No, Rosie, I told you so"
Was here with your sister
But she's going out the back, I want to dance and have fun, you know
Of all the shitty little places I meet you, it's here
And I'm freaking out
I heard you got a brand new name
Selling Es in the dark, but hey, it's nothing to shout about

Don't just say yes to tease me
Do your utmost to please me
I don't mean to be sleazy
Being you can't be easy

When you're creeping up the backstairs, mother's nightmares
Falling in the front door, my, my
Climbing in the window, get dressed, let's go
Take your brother's car keys, bye bye

Well I see your yellow fingers
And your crucifix bones all covered in cellophane
Was there when your best friend said
"Sweetheart, I'm just here to get drunk again"
I wouldn't move if I was you
I wouldn't want to get caught when the lights go out
She said, "You think you're so special"
I said, "Sunshine, I'm just bored, I'm just checking out"

Don't just say yes to tease me
Do your utmost to please me
I don't mean to be sleazy
Being you can't be easy

When you're creeping up the backstairs, mother's nightmares
Falling in the front door, my, my
Climbing in the window, get dressed, let's go
Take your brother's car keys, bye bye

Don't just say yes to tease me
Do your utmost to please me
I don't mean to be sleazy
Being you can't be easy

When you're creeping up the backstairs, mother's nightmares
Falling in the front door, my, my
Climbing in the window, get dressed, let's go
Take your brother's car keys, bye bye

Creeping up the backstairs, mother's nightmares
Falling in the front door, my, my
Climbing in the window, get dressed, let's go
Take your brother's car keys, bye bye
