Sneak Out The Back Door

Well I never been good at goodbyes

I'm gonna sneak out the back door

Nobody can say that I didn't try

Gonna sneak out the back door

Let it ride, let the whole thing slide

Drift far from the shore

Don't wanna be missed

Didn't even exist

I'm gonna sneak out

Sneak out the back door

I got no small talk to speak of

Gonna sneak out the back door

There's a man here talking my ear off

I'm gonna sneak out the back door

To the night and the pale moonlight

I can't hide anymore

I’mo be on my way

Got nothing to say

I'm gonna sneak out

Sneak out the back door

I feel a pang of anxiety

At the society gathering

Gonna find me a corner

This "Little Jack Horner's" unraveling

Un-raaaaaaa-veling

And when my life is over

I'm gonna sneak out the back door

Before the mood turns sober

I'm gonna sneak out the back door

Hadn't much of a "Midas Touch"

No luck to be sure

Would you give my regards to the people in charge

While I sneak out

Sneak out the back door

Let it ride, let the whole thing slide

Drift far from the shore

Don't wanna be missed

Didn't even exist

I'm gonna sneak out

Sneak out the back door.
