Basement Glow

(ooh-ooh) Raincoat in the basement,

hanging on the line Never getting dry,

frozen in our time

Christmas lights in August,

dusty colored glow No one wants to leave,

no one wants to go

Roommate heard it all,

didn't say a word

Turned the dial up,

louder than you heard

Past polite tonight (yeah,

past polite tonight)

Instant regret,

on the floor But we still keep asking for more

Instant regret, in the light

Turning it up past polite (instant regret!)

Sticky rhythm beats, ticking on the wall No one wants to clean

up, no one wants to call

Glitter on the floor,

mixing with the rust

Everything we wanted turned to settled dust

Instant regret (ah-hah) Raincoat never dried Turned the volume up

(past polite)
