The Basement Songtext
von Jim Lindberg

Don′t take me down to the basement
I really don't wanna go
Don′t take me down to the basement
I really don't wanna go

Thirteen steps lead down to the dark
Under humming plumbing pipes and electrical sparks
In the summer I sweat, in the winter I freeze
Mosquitoes spiders and bugs made a meal outta me

Don't take me down to the basement
I really don′t wanna go
Don′t take me down to the basement
I really don't wanna go


Smells like dirty socks and old dish rags
My old man′s bottles of beer and his porno mags
Cigarette burns and buzzin' lights
Water heater might explode in the middle of the night

Don′t take me down to the basement
I really don't wanna go
Don′t take me down to the basement
I really don't wanna go

But on the other hand
Let's go down to the basemеnt
I really do wanna go
Let′s go down to the basemеnt
I really do wanna go
Let′s go down to the basemеnt
I really do wanna go
Let's go down to the basemеnt
I really do wanna go
