Welcome to the Basement Songtext
von Russell Shaddox

Welcome to the basement
I play the fly on the wall
It′s insulated
The sound won't carry out at all
Why don′t you notice
None of your friends could hear you call
Were you to call

Skip the introduction
You'll know me well soon enough
You play the victim
But I am made of stronger stuff
I play the stranger
Who gets his thrills from playing rough
Cause I'm big and tough


So tell me why don′t you know
When there′s something's wrong
Oh baby why don′t you go
You been down too long
So tell me why don't you know
When there′s something wrong
There's something wrong (oh baby)
There′s something wrong

Welcome to the back room
It's where the real work begins
Vinegar and Lysol
Cover up a multitude of sins
Fear and repulsion
Keep you on needles and pins
Needles and pins

So tell me why don't you know
That there′s something′s wrong
Oh baby why don't you go
You been down too long
So tell me why don′t you know
That there's something wrong
There′s something wrong (oh baby)
There's something wrong


Welcome to my nightmare
Somehow you got me on the run
You tricky vixen
You didn′t tell me about the gun
Now I'm the victim
And all my plans have come undone
Nowhere to run

So tell me why don't you know
That there′s something′s wrong
Oh baby why don't you go
I been down too long
So tell me why don′t you know
That there's something wrong
There′s something wrong (oh baby)
There's something wrong
