13 Steps Lead Down Lyrics by Elvis Costello

13 Steps Lead Down 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]
