 Toh Kay - Streetlight Manifesto - Down Down Down to Mephisto’s Cafe
 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 it 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
 Riff2)
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  Café.  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!)
 Riff2)
 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
 Same as intro)
 If I were you,  I would take  this as a sign
 Believe it's true,  we were never  meant to fly
  --->(Acapella)or same the end of the intro part (see above)<---
 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  Caf&eacute;.  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!)
 Whistled (horn part)
 (Riff2)
 
 
 (Riff1)
 (Riff1) until bridge
 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 eyes 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 your 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  Caf&eacute;.  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!)

We're going down (Right?)  (Right!)

Riff
So fu[D]ck the flo[A]cks of s[Bm]heep that keep amassing masses
[G]Asses being led so far ast[A]ray
[D]And I won't claim to b[A]elieve the things I read[Bm], black books or agenda magazine
[G] I'd rather see in shades of g[A]ray

Same as intro)
[G]  If I were y[Bm]ou,[F#] I would t[D]ake this as a sign
[G]  Believe it's t[Bm]rue,[F#]  we were [D]never meant to fly
  --->(Acapella)or same  the end of the intro part (see above)<---
And I knew you when you were you

Before they twisted all your views

Before you came unglued

We're going do[D]wn, down, d[Bm]own to Meph[G]isto's Ca[A]fe
Do[D]wn, down, d[Bm]own to Meph[G]isto's Ca[A]f&eacute;. We're going down !
