13 Steps Lead Down

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 2] 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, baby [Chorus] 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
