Elvis Costello - 13 Steps Lead Down
Music Video
Song Lyrics
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]
