I Wanna Go Down To the Basement

I went down to the river but not to pray I went down to the river to play And I played on right through the day I went to the movies but not to see a movie I went to the theater to sleep And I slept all through the second show They didn't know Then I went down to the basement I was no longer afraid Then I went down to the basement I was no longer afraid I went up to the mountain but not to climb I went up to the mountain to remind me of my place: fixed in space I went out in the storm but not to see the rain I went out in the storm just to close my baby's window She'd left it open The night before Then I went down to the basement I was no longer afraid Then I went down to the basement I was no longer afraid I wanna go down to the basement I am no longer afraid I wanna go down to the basement I am no longer afraid I wanna go down to the basement I am no longer afraid
