Lyrics 13 Steps Lead Down - Elvis Costello
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
