THE BASEMENT CATS

Lyrics

Babe, tell me can you hear me?
My heart won’t start beating, when you’re not around
Hey, if you think it’s not working
Just tell me and I will continue with my head to the ground
I’m cracked, ten billion steps back
But nothing will keep me, from touching your soul
Babe, no I can’t watch you leave me
But I have to stay back, while the maggots attack
And all the stoners roll

Baby in sorrow this just isn’t as fun
I’m an egg on the sidewalk, underneath the sun
Happiness is just a shot away
And my firing pin's got a lightyear's delay
No, it’s not half as amazing as an empty plate
When I’m trying while she’s lying that this isn’t her fate
Watch me topple over the edge
At every word that she says

I will take all the blame
I spent all my copper, once I spent my gold
She stole the breath I was breathing
I never expected, that I’d be left standing out in the cold
She will not let me be
My every thought is plagued, when I lie in bed
She has become my footsteps, the sound in the attic
The creak in the floorboards, the voice in my head

Baby in sorrow this just isn’t as fun
I’m an egg on the sidewalk, underneath the sun
Happiness is just a shot away
And my firing pin's got a lightyear's delay
No, it’s not half as amazing as an empty plate
When I’m trying while she’s lying that this isn’t her fate
Watch me topple over the edge
At every word that she says
