Creepin Up the Backstairs Lyrics

Woo

She said "I am Rosie" I said "I thought you were Lucy"?
She said "No, Rosie I told you so?"
Was here with your sister but she was gone when I got back
I wasn't dancin' for fun y'know
Of all the shitty little places I meet you it's here
And now I'm freaking out
I heard you got a brand new name, selling E's 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 creepin' 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

Woo

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 creepin' 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

Woo

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 creepin' 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

Creepin' 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
