Art Rush - The Basement lyrics

sung in the character of Midworth Curtis Uh Turn it up We thought we were special and out of their sights The warmth of a clothesline, strung up with lights But it just took them time to suss us all out and build up a town in the basement They've built up the data, from feeding the streams to gatecrash the party we've had in our dreams The girl in the corner, the boy on the side They live in the town in the basement Shadows of substance, the hopeful are dressed in quicksilver vintage and slyly depressed She smiles oh so shyly, you know he's obsessed with life in the town in the basement Y'know... I'd say something if I could If I could work up the nerve Cause - I think you used to be friends with my sister Yeah.. Now I see you rockin penguins and o week bags in the basement and look around cuz It's all for you.. And you really want it It's made for you.. Tumbling and tweeting They've seen into your soul They gave me the charts So how about a coffee? How ‘bout it? We thought we were special and out of their sights The warmth of a clothesline, strung up with lights But it just took them time to suss us all out and build up a town in the basement They've built up the data, from feeding the streams to gatecrash the party we've had in our dreams The girl in the corner, the boy on the side They live in the town in the basement It really grinds my gears through my eyes and ears Gen Y targeting cynical marketing and it's really creepy, none of this is accidental Just a sec - dig my funky instrumental That's right, i'm in a band, they play me on FBi What do you do, oh that's cool, i've read that too Hey - what's your number? You thought you were special and out of my sight A high-waisted skirt, strung up with tights But it just took me to suss you all out and build up a town in your basement You thought you were special and out of my sight A high-waisted skirt, strung up with tights But it just took me to suss you all out and build up a town in your basement
