Streetlight Manifesto - Down Down Down to Mephistos Cafe
Intro
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 it go
Riff#1
Riff#2 (Verse) Vertical bars show the timing and listen to the song.
Riff#1
( __ )
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
Verse
Riff#2)
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 Café. 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!)
Verse
Riff#2)
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
Bridge
Same as intro)
If I were you, I would take this as a sign
Believe it's true, we were never meant to fly
--->(Acapella)or same the end of the intro part (see above)<---
And I knew you when you were you
Before they twisted all your views
Before you came unglued
Chorus
We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
Down, down, down to Mephisto's Café. 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!)
Whistled (horn part)
(Riff#2)
(Riff#1)
(Riff#1) until bridge
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 eyes 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 your right
Bridge
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
Chorus
We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
Down, down, down to Mephisto's Café. 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!)
