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:

13 steps lead down (x2)

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 tonight I just can't stand myself



13 steps lead down (x4)



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 splendor for a picture opportunity

Cover up that bruise, put on patent leather shoes

Just stop playing that bad mood music, baby



-chorus-



13 steps lead down (x4
