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.
