Down the Dark Stairs Lyrics

Down the dark stairs, all the way
down, down, down, down, down,
to the bottom where the children have all drowned,
and the darkness and the hunger howls,
down to the end, into the black beyond
down, down, down, down.
Down the dark stairs, all the way
down, down, down, down, down,
where the horror sleeps with all the godless children of the world,
and the only ones who are buying drinks
are all your blackest memories,
down, down, down, down.
I will be waiting on black chalk-board beaches of gunpowder sand
with the world in my hands just for you.

So down the dark stairs, all the way
down, down, down, down, down,
to the bottom where you can"t make a sound
and all your teeth fall out, and you can"t stand up
and everything that you"ve loved is gone for good,
down, down, down, down.
I will be waiting with arms open wide, in the shark-rich tide
with a smile that I"ve made just for you

Down the stairs, all the way
down, down, down, down, down,
to the bottom where your mind"s come unwound
and all the friends you"ve ever known become ghosts
that you"ll never ever meet again,
down, down, down, down.
