Superchunk - Basement Life lyrics

when the walls were quiet(?) ?? well i cant breathe in here without tasting all the stagnant (stealing well i've)?? how do then my eyes adjust to this? i can imagine what its like you with your basement life you're dug in deep this time i can imagine what its like dont you ever see the light? you in your basement hive i can imagine what its like dont you ever see the light? you with your basement life take a shower then i went down there and joined you ???? i can feel better or is the attraction or is the attraction just to get to the tunnels that you have already dug?
