[00:00.00]Streetlight Manifesto
[00:00.01]Down, Down, Down to Mephisto's Café
[00:00.02]
[00:00.50]If I were you, I would take this as a sign
[00:06.45]Believe it's true, we were never meant to fly
[00:12.19]And I owe you, I know you more than anyone alive
[00:17.98]And I will not let go
[00:23.02]
[00:49.53]They will not remember this song
[00:53.57]No matter what we do we'll be wrong
[00:56.17]They will not remember this song
[01:00.31]No matter what we do we'll be wrong
[01:03.38]I can't seem to see the seal we're breaking
[01:05.78]I can't seem to see the seal we broke
[01:07.02]I refuse to recognize your views
[01:10.16]Someone shouted "Everything's for nothing"
[01:12.36]Somebody shouted, "All is lose"
[01:13.54]But I can't buy that nonsense too
[01:17.10]Way back when the prophecies began
[01:18.66]Do you think they really had a master plan
[01:20.34]Or were they merely writing fables, stories?
[01:24.08]I don't know but it has occurred to me
[01:25.62]The punishment that they threaten constantly
[01:27.28]It's only real if they could just convince me
[01:30.24]
[01:33.20]We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
[01:37.37]Down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
[01:40.18]We're going down
[01:41.08]And the gears will spin and the sinners sin, but at least we'll give them hell
[01:43.79]And the righteous few will spit on you, so bid them all farewell
[01:46.73]We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
[01:50.24]We're going down (Right?) (Right!)
[01:53.72]So xxxx the flocks of sheep that keep amassing masses
[01:57.39]Asses being led so far astray
[02:00.82]And I won't claim to believe the things I read
[02:02.77]Black books or agenda magazine
[02:04.34]I'd rather see in shades of gray
[02:08.07]If I were you, I would take this as a sign
[02:11.22]Believe it's true, we were never meant to fly
[02:14.50]And I knew you when you were you
[02:16.52]Before they twisted all your views
[02:18.02]Before you came unglued
[02:20.14]
[02:20.44]We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
[02:24.26]Down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe (We're going down)
[02:28.29]And the gears will spin and the sinners sin, but at least we'll give them hell
[02:31.04]And the righteous few will spit on you, so bid them all farewell
[02:33.97]We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
[02:37.37]We're going down (Right?) (Right!)
[02:39.61]
[03:08.65]Now everybody's telling taller tales
[03:12.01]And I don't know who to believe
[03:14.66]Ok, if your father really loves you more
[03:18.66]What about the other families?
[03:22.24]Finally, I met a man with kindness in his eye and fire in his heart
[03:28.87]He said you'll never have to choose a side
[03:29.70]It's rewarding but oh, the road is hard....
[03:35.55]They broke him wide open
[03:37.28]Like a dam and a cork that's holding everything inside
[03:42.34]You can play the role of rebel
[03:45.00]Just be sure to know your wrong from right
[03:49.20]I remember it was years ago
[03:51.73]You know I still count the days
[03:56.02]You and I had quite a ways to go
[03:58.54]I never once heard you complain
[04:01.76]And you said
[04:02.69]
[04:16.17]Don't crack, because you might not make it back
[04:18.93]And if you do you will be alone and you can't live like that
[04:22.30]Well I know when I'm wrong and I sure as hell ain't wrong this time
[04:27.07]
[04:28.70]We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafes
[04:32.75]Down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe (We're going down)
[04:36.44]And the gears will spin and the sinners sin, but at least we'll give them hell
[04:39.18]And the righteous few will spit on you, so bid them all farewell
[04:42.26]We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
[04:45.64]We're going down (Right?) (Right!)
