13 Steps Lead Down lyrics
When nobody knows she puts on secret clothes
And lies in the meadow with her hands tied behind her back
I won't refuse if you know how to use it
Just stop playing that ugly drug music
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
There's commoners and kings
And everyone's a prisoner of paper and glue
And a decent pair of scissors
So tonight, I'm drinking to your health
Because I just can't stand myself
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
She stands and fails
On fashion fingernails
Her lovers have her walking 'round
On instruments of torture
And one of them is poisonous
The other is a thief, they say
So what one could give to her
The other cannot take away
When nobody knows she puts on secret clothes
And lies in her splendor for a picture opportunity
Cover up that bruise, put on patent leather shoes
Just stop playing that bad mood music
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
There's commoners and kings
And everyone's a prisoner of paper and glue
And a decent pair of scissors
So tonight I'm drinking to your health
Because I just can't stand myself
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
