Our Basement

In the fleeting blush between dusk and after-light
Your eyes were aglow like two moons.
Then your smile shot through me
tranquilizing all the ache.
And now I'm higher than the streetlights fading on beneath the night sky's bloom.

I imagine you doing simple things
like humming one part of a song that you like,
singing out the words that move you
down the avenue while i watched you walk past me.

On a day like this, summer fever is all you think
No drug can escape this relentless heat.
A familiar sound passing by cools everything,
and I hide my face behind the shame of all the sins that keep that sound from me.

And imagine you doing simple things
like humming one part of a song that you like,
singing out the words that move you
down the avenue while i watched you walk past me,
down the avenue while i watched you walk past me,
down the avenue while i watched you walk past me.

In the ------, no drug can escape.
I hide my face behind the shame of all the sins that keep that sound from me - -
that sound - - ah, ah, ahh - - ahhoon - - ahh ahh ahhh
