The Basement Lyrics by State Champion

0

Moonlight stompin' on a tabletop
On a back porch runnin' its mouth
Got the alleycats callin' up "Lord, can't you take the back porch, to the front of the house?"
Got a long list of things to say
Fair skinned maiden that'd faded away
Hospital bed last Labor Day and who?
I still smell her hair on the horizon, sometimes
I still smell her hair on the horizon, sometimes, you know I can't get past it
I still wake up in the middle of the night, the night, sometimes
I still wake up in the middle of the night sometimes and write a bad word on her casket
If they catch me, if they catch me
Well I guess if they catch me in the church with a ski mask on
They can put me in the dirt beneath a peach tree growin'
Cause I've been living in the basement of the world
Sleepin' under a table, worshipping The Great One 'cause of a girl
Well I've been, I've been, I've been living in the basement of the world
Sleepin' under a table and worshipping the devil, I-
I guess if they catch me in the church with a ski mask on
They can put me in a pine box cryin' my song
Cause I've been living in the basement of the world
Sleepin' under a table, and worshippin' Satan 'cause of a girl
Well I've been, I've been, I've been living in the basement of the world
Sleeping under a turntable, and worshippin' the treble, I-
Still smell her hair on the horizon, sometimes
I still smell her hair on the horizon, sometimes, I can't get past it
I still wake up in the middle of the night, the night, sometimes
I still wake up in the middle of the night sometimes and write a bad word on her casket
I still wake up in the middle of the middle of the middle of the night
I still wake up in the middle of the middle of the middle of the night, the night, the night, the night, I still
Wake up in the middle of the middle of the middle of the night
I still wake up in the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle...
