Down, Down, Down To Mephisto's Cafe Lyrics - Streetlight Manifesto

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 eye 

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 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 Cafe
