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

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

Down, down down, to Mephisto's Cafe

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
