[Verse 1]
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
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 2]
When nobody knows she puts on secret clothes
And lies in her splendor for a picture opportunity
Cover up that bruise, put on patent leather shoes
Just stop playing that bad mood music, baby
[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
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
