When nobody knows she puts on secret clothes<br>
And lies in the meadow with her hands tied behind her back
And lies in the meadow with her hands tied behind her back<br>
 
I won't refuse<br>
I won't refuse  
If you know how to use it<br>
 
Just stop playing that ugly drug music<br>
If you know how to use it
<br>
 
Thirteen steps lead down<br>
Just stop playing that ugly drug music
Thirteen steps lead down<br>
 
There's commoners and kings<br>
 
And everyone's a prisoner<br>
 
Of paper and glue and a decent pair of scissors<br>
Thirteen steps lead down
So tonight I'm drinking to your health<br>
 
Because I just can't stand myself<br>
Thirteen steps lead down

Thirteen steps lead down<br>
There's commoners and kings
Thirteen steps lead down<br>
 
Thirteen steps lead down<br>
And everyone's a prisoner
Thirteen steps lead down<br>
 
<br>
Of paper and glue and a decent pair of scissors
She stands and fails on fashion fingernails<br>
 
Her lovers have her walking 'round<br>
So tonight I'm drinking to your health
On instruments of torture<br>
 
And one of them is poisonous<br>
Because I just can't stand myself
The other is a thief they say<br>
 
So what one could give to her<br>
 
The other cannot take away<br>
 
<br>
Thirteen steps lead down
When nobody knows she puts on secret clothes<br>
 
And lies in her splendour for a picture opportunity<br>
Thirteen steps lead down
Cover up that bruise, put on patent leather shoes<br>
 
Just stop playing that bad mood music<br>

lyrics for
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
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 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
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
