Lyrics

Backdoor

[Verse 1: Matthew Bellamy]

See you standing

Wish you want me just a little bit

Wish you love me just a little bit

Cause now I want it all the time

And I know that it's no crime

But I don’t know why

[Pre-Chorus: Matthew Bellamy]

Now I want it all the time

And I know that it's no crime

But I don’t know why

[Chorus: Matthew Bellamy]

Now we're holding all the time

Two can sing to no longer mind

I hope that you will see me through

Through the Backdoor

Looking out for a jack-door

For all the things that we hoped for

Thrown it in a pool of fear

Pool of fear
