Three steps down below the city streets
In our private room, the colour all runs out
An' not a sound, the smoke curls in the air
An' I can feel a sliding peace, come over me tonight
Dead or dancin', cross the room
The candles burn and shadows loom
I hide below it all
Or heaven's underground
The clouds are fallin' at our feet
Three steps down below the street
So comin' down: it's like water after wine
Oh, comin' down a long hard line
An' I know better's gettin' harder all the time
From three steps down
From three steps down
Instrumental break
Dead or dancin', cross the room
The candles burn and shadows loom
I hide below it all
Or heaven's underground
The clouds are fallin' at our feet
Three steps down below the street
Three steps down below the city streets
In our private room, the colour all runs out
The colour all runs out
The colour all runs out
The colour all runs out
