Sub-Basement |
Ever since I started out I keep on sinkin' in the pit |
Times change called my name told me that |
I’d grow out of it |
Out of step and time |
Ain’t worth a dime |
Or they told me so |
I’ll stay a wrong sided hit |
I don’t like what’s on the radio |
Torn down and been condemned |
Like a tenement now |
But in the trap door cellar |
There’s a special lamp glow |
And still down deeper |
Where you cannot see with eyes |
Is the ramp to the damp |
Where the sub-basement cries |
No escape |
Through the years and the tears |
Under black cloud skies |
Seems the lower that I go |
Is where my true heart lies |
And when I’m stuck in the thick of it |
There’s no need to roam |
Some think of me as fried but it’s a choice all my own |
I’ve been called a dinosaur relic |
Stuck in the twilight zone |
But stickin' in the sub-basement |
Keeps me lit to the bone |
Like the bats hanging dormant |
In their nocturnal fleet |
I’m still around underground |
Gettin' my peace without sleep |
No escape |
There’s no way out |
No doubt |
No way out |
So when the strands on the spiders loom |
Cast a glow in the room |
Won’t be long for the web has caught a new prey for doom |
And there ain’t no worry |
About any fee or rent |
As long as cement songs keep climbing |
Out of the sub-basement |
Ain’t no worry about no fee |
And there ain’t any rent |
As long as cement songs keep climbin' out of the |
Sub-basement |
No escape |
Ain’t no doubt — no way out — no doubt |
Sssshhhh — aaaahhhh |
