13 Steps Lead Down |
| 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 |
| 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 splendour for a picture opportunity |
| Cover up that bruise, put on patent leather shoes |
| Just stop playing that bad mood music |
| Thirteen steps lead down |
