ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics : "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

[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 [4x]

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


[Chorus]


Thirteen steps lead down [4x]
