Taking You Down Lyrics by Steve Hackett

The Circus and the Nightwhale

0

He's just around the corner at every turn
He'll set you up and leave you to burn
He'll fill your cup and watch you drink
Lead you to the brink and watch you sink

When his boots hit the ground he's taking you down

One step ahead of your next move
Controlling the game he'll never lose
He'll sniff out the angry and the lost
The world for the taking, no matter what the cost

When his boots hit the ground he's taking you down

A demon in disguise even when a child
Jack of diamonds, deucеs wild
He'll stitch you up, you'd better not cry
Whеn your best friend wants you to die

When his boots hit the ground he's taking you down
