The Basement Song (BBC Evening Session 2000)

I hear something in the basement,

When I shouldn't hear a sound,

Voices speaking there in whispers,

People moving stuff around,

Now this was causing me to lose sleep,

So I thought I'd check it out,

But the dust out there was this deep,

And there was no-one about.

I think I'm starting to lose what grip I had,

Think I'm starting to slide,

Be so bright, you decide,

Am I paranoid enough for the outside.

I told the doctor of my symptoms,

And he didn't say a word,

I'm getting hives on my shoulders,

And I feel tired like a small bird.

And soon my friends are coming over,

'Cause I just lay there on the bedspread,

Listening to voices in the basement,

Or is that voices in my head?

I think I'm starting to lose what grip I had,

Think I'm starting to slide,

Be so bright, you decide,

Am I paranoid enough for the outside.

I catch you later get me outta here, outta here,

I catch you later get me outta here, outta here,

Yeah I catch you later get me outta here, outta here,

I catch you later get me outta here, outta here,

Yeah I catch you later get me outta here, outta here,

I catch you later get me outta here, outta here,

Ooh I catch you later get me outta here, outta here,

I catch you later get me outta here, outta here,

Ooh I catch you later get me outta here, outta here, (I hear something in the basement)

I catch you later get me outta here, outta here, (I hear something in the basement)

Ooh I catch you later get me outta here, outta here. (I hear something in the basement)

(I hear something in the basement)

(I hear something in the basement)
