Under the floor, something moves I smile like nothing's wrong
Velvet on the walls,
but the room runs cold
Every little joke lands sharp as gold
I can feel the table shake under my drink
Something in the house won't let me think
Red on the record light,
eyes on me
Everybody dancing like they never see
Step by step, the ceiling bends
A sweet grin right before it ends
Fever in the basement,
hands up high Shake that fear till the walls reply Heart on
a wire and the groove bites back We dance with the monster
in a satin black Round and round,
let the bad dream spin If it wants my name,
I'm pulling it in Fever in the basement
Shake that fear Round and round Pulling
it in Mirror on the bar shows another face
Mine for a second,
then it slips from place Footsteps in the pocket of the snare
stay close I laugh too loud when I need it most If
the room goes dark,
I still move on time
Fever in the basement,
hands up high Shake that fear till the walls reply Heart on
a wire and the groove bites back We dance with the monster
in a satin black
Round and round, let the bad dream spin If it wants my
name, I'm pulling it in
Still it moves
Still I move
