I Wanna Go Down To The Basement
I went down to the river but not to pray
I went down to the river to play
And I played on right through the day
I went to the movies but not to see a movie
I went to the theater to sleep
And I slept all through the second show
They didn't know
Then I went down to the basement
I was no longer afraid
Then I went down to the basement
I was no longer afraid
I went up to the mountain but not to climb
I went up to the mountain to remind me of my place: fixed in space
I went out in the storm but not to see the rain
I went out in the storm just to close my baby's window
She'd left it open
The night before
Then I went down to the basement
I was no longer afraid
Then I went down to the basement
I was no longer afraid
I wanna go down to the basement
I am no longer afraid
I wanna go down to the basement
I am no longer afraid
I wanna go down to the basement
I am no longer afraid
I went down to the river to play
And I played on right through the day
I went to the movies but not to see a movie
I went to the theater to sleep
And I slept all through the second show
They didn't know
Then I went down to the basement
I was no longer afraid
Then I went down to the basement
I was no longer afraid
I went up to the mountain but not to climb
I went up to the mountain to remind me of my place: fixed in space
I went out in the storm but not to see the rain
I went out in the storm just to close my baby's window
She'd left it open
The night before
Then I went down to the basement
I was no longer afraid
Then I went down to the basement
I was no longer afraid
I wanna go down to the basement
I am no longer afraid
I wanna go down to the basement
I am no longer afraid
I wanna go down to the basement
I am no longer afraid
