| 作词 : MacManus | |
| Take your tiny feet out of your mother's shoes | |
| Or there is going to be a terrible scene | |
| It's not just the lipstick drawn on crooked | |
| When they find how wicked we are | |
| How wicked we have been | |
| How i've been tempted | |
| Chorus: | |
| How you tripped at every step | |
| You tripped at every step, you tripped at every step | |
| How you tripped at every step | |
| There's a merry tune that starts in 'i' | |
| And ends in 'you,' like many famous pop songs do | |
| You would sing along with little tell-tale staggers | |
| While balancing on daggers | |
| Though they were killing you | |
| You looked so deadly | |
| Chorus | |
| And i would try to catch you | |
| Anytime you call | |
| Only you drank that potion | |
| And went out of control | |
| There's nothing to stop you | |
| So how can you fall? | |
| Let me take your hand | |
| Put down that frying pan | |
| Darkness would become me underneath the table | |
| As the fury raged around the house | |
| Your despairing tread was angry and unstable | |
| You never suspected | |
| Just as that cartoon mouse | |
| Went undetected | |
| So you tripped at every step | |
| In another world of gin and cigarettes | |
| Those cocktail cabinets put mud in your eye | |
| Maybe that is why you find it hard to see me | |
| And if you don't believe me | |
| Before you start to cry | |
| 'don't ever leave me' | |
| As you start to lose your grip | |
| (once you start losing your grip) | |
| You will stumble as you slip | |
| (and you will stumble and slip) | |
| As you tripped at every step | |
| You tripped at every step, you tripped at every step | |
| As you tripped at every step |
