Bruce Hornsby - Sneaking Up On Boo Radley Lyrics
Crawl up the back steps
Up to the back door
Reach up in the dark
Turn the handle a little more
Open up real slow
Look ahead, look behind
Don't shuffle your feet
Hey - They say he's crazy, they say he's gone
We play our tricks, make up funny songs
Sneaking around, feeling badly
Sneaking up on Boo Radley
Hear the caterpillar crawl
Hear the bedbugs bite
All the sounds of the night
Hear the sound of footprints
On the ground I think I see
Don't step on the lightning bugs
Watch the crack in your knees
They say he's crazy, they say he's gone
We play our tricks, make up funny songs
Sneaking around, feeling badly
Sneaking up on Boo Radley
They say he's funny, got a loose screw
Stay away, he's a threat to you
Give him a break, what do we know
Might turn out we would like him so
We fear what we just don't know
I heard he served a long time ago
Saw some things we'll never know
We laugh and sneak around in the night
Fun and games but I know it's not right
Both scared and fascinated
Ignorant we castigate him
Both scared and fascinated
Ignorant we flagellate him
They say he's crazy, they say he's gone
We play our tricks, make up funny songs
Down the street, walking sadly
My little sister, loves him madly
I'm feeling like the Man From Gladly
Sneaking up on Boo Radley
Sneaking up on Boo Radley

Sneaking Up On Boo Radley
Bruce Hornsby
Album: Spirit Trail
Crawl up the back steps up to the back door
Reach up in the dark, turn the handle a little more
Open up real slow so the door won't creak
Look ahead, look behind, don't shuffle your feet hey
[Chorus]
They say he's crazy, they say he's gone
We play our tricks, make up funny songs
Sneaking around, feeling badly
Sneaking up on Boo Radley
Hear the caterpillar crawl, hear the bed buds bite
Hear the crickets scream, all the sounds of the night
Hear the sound of footprints on the ground across the grass
Don't step on the lightning bugs, watch the crack in your knees
[Chorus]
They say he's crazy, they say he's gone
We play our tricks, make up funny songs
Sneaking around, feeling badly
Sneaking up on Boo Radley
They say he's funny, got a loose screw
Stay away, he's a threat to you
Give him a break, what do we know
Might turn out we would like him so
We fear what we just don't know
Well I heard he served a long time ago
He saw some things we'll never know
We laugh and sneak around in the night
Fun and games but I know it's not right
No, not right
Well scar ed and fascinated
Ignorant we castigate* him
Well scared and fascinated
Ignorant we flagellate him
They say he's crazy, they say he's gone
We play our tricks, make up funny songs
Down the street walking sadly
My little sister loves him madly
Feeling like the man from Gladly
Sneaking up on Boo Radley

I can see Sting doing this one.
One day my band Ocean 7 is gonna play the Funhouse Fest. You watch!
I late January 1996, I drove from Myrtle Beach to Nashville to watch him, Bela Fleck, and Vince Gill rehearse all day for a TV performance on TNN. I arrived the Ryman at 9:30am and stayed all day. Bruce didn't know I was there. I was the only person watching the rehearsal. He read from a cardboard chart for a Bela Fleck instrumental that he and Bela rehearsed. Bruce was wearing low cut LL Bean boots. He and Vince shook hands on stage that morning after a take of "What The Cowgirls Do". It was awesome!
We fear what we just don't know. Word!!
This is awesome! This is a masterpiece!
English teacher made me come here. Please help.
Listen and Learn from a master, Glacius. Ever heard the phrase 'There's a method to the madness?'
One day you will look back at that teacher and be like damn he was boss.
I mean, this guy sang with the dead.... and this is your homework? Sweet man.
Same here
One of Kyle's favorites.
