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 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 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 splendor for a picture opportunity Cover up that bruise, put on patent leather shoes Just stop playing that bad mood music 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
