Basement (Manchester Version)

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
