Let's go down in our basement It's where we like time wasted Hide from all the things that we're hating It's got a trapdoor and everything And it's got a little sofa We sleep down there, though it's colder And it's a Friday night but the music got shut So we stay here with the old stuff Small things make big shadows Skyscrapers on the walls follow us down Every mistake we made, we build ourselves a town In the basement In the basement In the basement, yeah In the basement, ha ♪ We drink our tea in the basement We smoke 'til three in the basement We live our dreams in the basement We're finally in the basement Small things make big shadows Skyscrapers on the walls follow us down Every mistake we made, we build ourselves a town In the basement In the basement In the basement In the basement, ha You can sit around ♪ You can sit around Hey ♪ We live and dry in the basement We love and cry in the basement We under mine in the basement We are gone to die in the basement It's a little ocean in the basement Finding that crusty bones by the basement Smiles on faces with the flag So wave it around Because we feel outside of the town Small things make big shadows Skyscrapers on the walls follow us down Every mistake we made, we build ourselves a town In the basement In the basement In the basement In the basement
