Down, Down, Down to Mephisto's Cafe
If I were you, I would take this as a sign - Believe it's true, we were never meant to fly - And I owe you, I
know you more than anyone alive - And I will not let go -- They will not remember this song - No matter
what we do we'll be wrong - They will not remember this song - No matter what we do we'll be wrong
-- I can't seem to see the seal we're breaking - I can't seem to see the seal we broke - I refuse to recognize
your views - Someone shouted "Everything's for nothing" - Somebody shouted, "All is lost" - But I
can't buy that nonsense too -- Way back when the prophecies began - Do you think they really had a
master plan - Or were they merely writing fables, stories? - I don't know but it has occurred to me - The
punishment that they threaten constantly - It's only real if they could just convince me -- We're going
down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe - Down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe - We're going down -
And the gears will spin and the sinners sin, but at least we'll give them hell - And the righteous few will
spit on you, so bid them all farewell - We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe - We're going
down (Right?) (Right!) -- So fuck the flocks of sheep that keep amassing masses - Asses being led so
far astray - And I won't claim to believe the things I read - Black books or agenda magazine - I'd rather
see in shades of gray -- If I were you, I would take this as a sign - Believe it's true, we were never meant to
fly - And I knew you when you were you - Before they twisted all your views - Before you came unglued
-- We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe -- Now everybody's telling taller tales - And I
don't know who to believe - Ok, if your father really loves you more - What about the other families? -
Finally, I met a man with kindness in his eyes and fire in his heart - He said you'll never have to choose
a side - It's rewarding but oh, the road is hard... -- They broke him wide open - Like a dam and a cork
that's holding everything inside - You can play the role of rebel - Just be sure to know your wrong from
your right -- I remember it was years ago - You know I still count the days - You and I had quite a ways
to go - I never once heard you complain - And you said -- Don't crack, because you might not make it
back - And if you do you will be alone and you can't live like that - Well I know when I'm wrong and I
sure as hell ain't wrong this time -- We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Café
Watch it Crash
Last night I woke alone with a whisper in my ear - Recanting all my aspirations and my fears - And when
the sun came up that voice had disappeared - But it would linger on for years -- It said "We can't just
blame it on our mothers - Claim everything they did was always wrong" -- And there ain't no turning
back when our train is off its track - And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash (watch it crash) -
And there ain't no right and wrong when we know it won't be long - And there's nothing we can do but
watch it crash -- So mercy, mercy, mercy me - Praying for the death of a man I'll never meet - Though
everyone will know the truth they'll still just make believe - Mercy mercy me -- That's all they came for,
that's all they took - That's all we had to offer, only dirty looks - And when they realized we'd given all we
could, that's when they finally understood - Mercy mercy mercy me - Haunted by the memories of things
we'll never see - Guilty for the statements that we'll never get to speak - Mercy mercy me
