On the way to your room, every step of the way
There are bones on the floor that tell a story
There’s one for every man that you use to know
Who let you down and you had to let go

On the way to my room, every step of the way
You can see on the floor bits of lingerie
Each one is for a girl who let me down before
And so I had to let go by the trap in the floor
But I

I don’t want to let you down
I don’t want to let you down

On the way to your room, I try not to look down
But I can’t help but see lying all round
The bodies of every guy that you’ve ever met
With their spine sticking out of the back of their necks

On the way to my room try not to ask yourself
If you’ll end up in a bowl on the top of my shelf
Today I might use you as a rebound
But tomorrow I’ll serve you for supper to my hounds
And I

I don’t want to let you down
I don’t want to let you down

And you told me we’d be famous
And you swore that I’d be fine
You swore you’d love me better next time around

And you told me we’d be faithful
And I swore that I’d be yours
Well, I guess it’ll be for next time if we have time at all

So I cannot take you back
Not in the state I’m in
If this is goodbye,
So long, fare well, auf wiedersehen

On the way to your room, every step of the way
There are skulls on the floor with candles in them
One for every guy that you ever knew
That didn’t meet his agreements with you

On the way to my room, if you care to go on
Just make your way through the stepping stones
It’d be too bad though if you fell in the dark
Cause then I would have no choice but to release the sharks and I

And I
I don’t want to let you down
No I
I don’t want to let you down
Although I
I don’t want to keep you from hangin’ around
But I
I don’t want to let you down
