lyrics

Sneaky Pete snuck in last night
You could hear the floorboards creak
He was careful to stay out of sight
And was very light on his feet.

He still pays the rent
But doesn't spend
A single night in his own bed
I think he wants the lease to end
He doesn't want to be my friend.

Sneaky Pete, oh, Sneaky Pete
Why you gotta creep through our own door?
Sneaky Pete, oh, Sneaky Pete
I wish you didn't have to be sneaky no more
I wish you didn't have to be sneaky no more.

Sneaky Pete ran in last night
Gasping and out of breath
It seemed like he'd been in a fight
He was bleeding from his chest.

Well, we showed concern
But he just turned
Away and said he wasn't hurt
We knew not from where he returned.
He went to his room and nothing was learned.

Sneaky Pete, oh, Sneaky Pete
Why you gotta creep through our own door?
Sneaky Pete, oh, Sneaky Pete
I wish you didn't have to be sneaky no more
I wish you didn't have to be sneaky no more.

Sneaky Pete ran in last night
With a harpie on his tail
He told the screaming girl to fly
But to little or no avail.

Well, she bit and she scratched
She refused to say bye
Sneaky Pete found a girl that was out of her mind
So how had it been that for all of this time
He was never around and we never knew why?

Sneaky Pete, oh, Sneaky Pete
Why you gotta creep through our own door?
Sneaky Pete, oh, Sneaky Pete
I wish you didn't have to be sneaky no more
I wish you didn't have to be sneaky no more.

Sneaky Pete hasn't been here in almost a year
Still pays the rent, and has a room here
But he stays with the girl that fills him with fear
So when it comes to us, she won't let him come near.

A lingering voice mumbles, 'if only
If only Sneaky Pete weren't so lonely
He'd pull himself out of this bond so unholy
If only, if only, if only, if only.'
