[Verse 1: Mike Hranica]
Foot by foot, down the stairs
No tinge of twilight between the floorboards
(Between the floorboards)
One man followed by another
Deep south, beneath, under
Slowly entering the cellar

[Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster & Mike Hranica]
Please say no
Think about when she was in your arms
(Down below, down below)
Please say no
Think about when she was in your arms
(Down below, down below)
Please say no

[Verse 2: Mike Hranica]
Let them bells ring as they did years ago
Let that choir sing and so it goes (So it goes)
He begs for every coin
As they promise to reap and sow
She begs to be employed
Down below

[Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster & Mike Hranica]
Please say no
Think about when she was in your arms
(Down below, down below)
Please say no
Think about when she was in your arms
(Down below, down below)
(Please say no)
[Bridge: Mike Hranica]
The poor are giving and the priests are taking
The poor are giving and the priests are taking
Down below

[Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster]
Please say no
Think about when she was in your arms
Down below
Please say
