lyrics

Down in the basement looks and smells like death
But it makes me feel alive
Down in the basement’s dimly lit corners
Brings my soul into the light

And I never feel as high as I do
When me and my pals trip on down to a hole in the ground
And we never feel as free as we do
Confined by walls of stone
Our throne is a cushionless old couch

[Chorus]

The lights flicker
Revealing walls adorned by spray painted scripture
Baptized by liquor
All the fools stumble down with drinks in their hands
Strangers take their sacrament but don't understand
They just come down
They bring their whiskey and rum down
But the party's upstairs
They stagger and falter
Spill their drinks on the pews and throw up on the altar

[Chorus A]

Down in the basement sounds like worship
Her spirit lives within
A heavenly choir of amplifiers
It cleanses me of all my sins

[Chorus A]
[Chorus B]
