Sub-Basement

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Ever since I've started out, I keep on sinkin' in the pit As times changed, 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 row But in the trap door cellar, there's still a special lamp glow And still a step down deeper where you cannot see with eyes Is the ramp to the damp where the sub-basement cries (No escape, no escape) (No escape, no escape) [Verse 2] 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 of 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, yeah [Bridge] (No escape, no escape) (There's no way out, no way out) (No doubt, no doubt) (There's no way out, no way out) [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] 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 no fee or any rent Long as cement songs are climbin' out of the sub-basement Ain't no worry about no fee and there ain't any rent Long as cement songs keep climbin' out of the sub-basement [Outro] (No escape, no escape) (There's no way out, no way out) (No escape) (No doubt) (Sssshhhh) (Aaaahhhh)
