Elvis Costello – 13 Steps Lead Down Lyrics  Share

From Elvis Costello's album: Brutal Youth

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
[ 13 Steps Lead Down lyrics from

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]
