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 go

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

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 Cafe

(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!)



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

If I were you, I would take this as a sign

Believe it's true, we were never meant to fly

And I knew you when you were you

Before they twisted all your views

Before you came unglued



We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe

Down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe

(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!)



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 eye 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 right

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



We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe

Down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe

(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!)
