[Intro \u2013 Funky Bassline, Muted Guitar, Light Drums]
\nEvery entrance looks the same
\nDifferent sign, same old game
\nFront row seats to the parade
\nWhile the exits slowly fade<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nLocked into a grand display
\nSmile like it\u2019s all O.K.
\nBut behind the velvet rope
\nI\u2019m just scanning lines for hope<\/p>\n
Every hallway leads to more
\nOf what I\u2019ve already seen before
\nEvery answer dressed in gold
\nBut the truth is getting old<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nIf there\u2019s a way around the scene
\nIt\u2019s somewhere in between<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nDoesn’t any place
\nHave a backdoor
\n(Any more)<\/p>\n
Some way to get out
\nWhen in doubt
\n(Shout!)<\/p>\n
Need a no doubt route!
\n(Backdoor!)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2 \u2013 Groove Builds]
\nEvery spotlight feels too bright
\nEvery day turns into night
\nEvery rule I didn\u2019t write
\nStill defines me left and right<\/p>\n
Whispers travel wall to wall
\nThere\u2019s a way beyond it all
\nNot the path they advertise
\nBut the one they keep disguised<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nNot every exit\u2019s in plain sight
\nSome only show when you don\u2019t fight<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nDoesn’t any place
\nHave a backdoor
\n(Any more)<\/p>\n
Some way to get out
\nWhen in doubt
\n(Shout!)<\/p>\n
Need a no doubt route!
\n(Backdoor!)<\/p>\n
[Bridge \u2013 Breakdown, Percussion + Organ]
\nCheck the corners, check the seams
\nHidden in the in-betweens
\nEvery structure has a flaw
\nEvery system breaks a law<\/p>\n
Pull the curtain, find the crack
\nEvery \u201cforward\u201d leads you back
\nUnless you step outside the frame
\nAnd stop playing by the game<\/p>\n
[Build \u2013 Full Band Rising]
\nIf the front is all a show
\nThen the side is where I go
\nIf the path is all mapped out
\nThen I\u2019m taking the way out<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain \u2013 Big, Layered Vocals]
\nDoesn’t any place
\nHave a backdoor
\n(Any more)<\/p>\n
Some way to get out
\nWhen in doubt
\n(Shout!)<\/p>\n
Need a no doubt route!
\n(Backdoor!)<\/p>\n
Find the hidden detour!
\n(Backdoor!)<\/p>\n
[Outro \u2013 Bass Groove + Guitar Fade]
\nEvery place\u2026
\nEvery space\u2026
\nThere\u2019s a backdoor\u2026
\n(Like before)<\/p>\n
[Silence]<\/p>\n
