13 Steps Lead Down-Elvis Costello Şarkı Sözleri

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]
