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
