Three Steps Down

Three steps down below the city streets
In our private room, the colour all runs out
An' not a sound, the smoke curls in the air
An' I can feel a sliding peace, come over me tonight

Dead or dancin', cross the room
The candles burn and shadows loom
I hide below it all
Or heaven's underground
The clouds are fallin' at our feet
Three steps down below the street

So comin' down: it's like water after wine
Oh, comin' down a long hard line
An' I know better's gettin' harder all the time
From three steps down
From three steps down

Dead or dancin', cross the room
The candles burn and shadows loom
I hide below it all
Or heaven's underground
The clouds are fallin' at our feet
Three steps down below the street
