Basement Life Lyrics

Superchunk Basement Life

When your walls went quiet
(They went false and sued them[?])
Well I can't breathe in here
Without tasting all the...
Stagnant steam and (play alive[?])
(How do then[?]) my eyes
Adjust to this?

I can imagine what it's like
You with your basement life
You're dug in deep this time
I can imagine what it's like
Don't you ever see the light?
You in your basement hive
I can imagine what it's like
Don't you ever see the light?
You with your basement life

Took a shower then I
Went down there and joined you
On that bitter cold night
To feel better
Or is the attraction
Or is the attraction
Just to get to the tunnels
That you have already dug?
