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
