[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!)

[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?)
