| If I were you, I would take this as a sign
|
| Believe it’s true, we were never meant to fly
|
| And I owe you, I know you more than anyone alive
|
| And I will not let go
|
| They will not remember this song
|
| No matter what we do we’ll be wrong
|
| They will not remember this song
|
| No matter what we do we’ll be wrong
|
| I can’t seem to see the seal we’re breaking
|
| I can’t seem to see the seal we broke
|
| I refuse to recognize your views
|
| Someone shouted «Everything's for nothing»
|
| Somebody shouted, «All is lost»
|
| But I can’t buy that nonsense too
|
| Way back when the prophecies began
|
| Do you think they really had a master plan
|
| Or were they merely writing fable stories?
|
| I don’t know but it has occurred to me
|
| The punishment that they threaten constantly
|
| It’s only real if they could just convince me
|
| We’re going down, down, down to Mephisto’s Cafe
|
| Down, down, down to Mephisto’s Cafe (We're going down)
|
| And the gears will spin and the sinners sin, but at least we’ll give them hell
|
| And the righteous few will spit on you, so bid them all farewell
|
| We’re going down, down, down to Mephisto’s Cafe
|
| We’re going down (Right?) (Right!)
|
| So fuck the flocks of sheep that keep amassing masses
|
| Asses being led so far astray
|
| And I won’t claim to believe the things I read
|
| Black books or agenda magazine
|
| I’d rather see in shades of gray
|
| If I were you, I would take this as a sign
|
| Believe it’s true, we were never meant to fly
|
| And I knew you when you were you
|
| Before they twisted all your views
|
| Before you came unglued
|
| We’re going down, down, down to Mephisto’s Cafe
|
| Down, down, down to Mephisto’s Cafe (We're going down)
|
| And the gears will spin and the sinners sin, but at least we’ll give them hell
|
| And the righteous few will spit on you, so bid them all farewell
|
| We’re going down, down, down to Mephisto’s Cafe
|
| We’re going down (Right?) (Right!)
|
| Now everybody’s telling taller tales
|
| And I don’t know who to believe
|
| Ok, if your father really loves you more
|
| What about the other families?
|
| Finally, I met a man with kindness in his eye and fire in his heart
|
| He said you’ll never have to choose a side
|
| It’s rewarding but oh, the road is hard…
|
| They broke him wide open
|
| Like a dam and a cork that’s holding everything inside
|
| You can play the role of rebel
|
| Just be sure to know your wrong from right
|
| I remember it was years ago
|
| You know I still count the days
|
| You and I had quite a ways to go
|
| I never once heard you complain
|
| And you said
|
| Don’t crack, because you might not make it back
|
| And if you do you will be alone and you can’t live like that
|
| Well I know when I’m wrong and I sure as hell ain’t wrong this time
|
| We’re going down, down, down to Mephisto’s Cafe
|
| Down, down, down to Mephisto’s Cafe (We're going down)
|
| And the gears will spin and the sinners sin, but at least we’ll give them hell
|
| And the righteous few will spit on you, so bid them all farewell
|
| We’re going down, down, down to Mephisto’s Cafe
|
| We’re going down (Right?) (Right!) |
