Now I'm stuck sitting here deep down in my basement Wondering where my girl and the peace and the love went I made a point that I thought really mattered Held on tight until the curtains were tattered Some fool wouldn't let it go If anyone can show what's beautifully human Hank and Muddy and Ludwig Van can Something bigger than our own dumb lifespan Just in case we end up glowing like plu-tay-nium Some fool wouldn't let it go I'm going down deep beneath my basement door And I don't know if I'm coming out no more I've got a stack of old records and a bunch of canned corn I'm gonna get so smart you'll wish you'd never been born The records that I'm spinnin' are my only friends I'm gonna stay down here until my troubles end Now I'm stuck sitting here deep down in my basement Wondering where my friends and the peace and the love went Someone held a thread and the world unraveled Honor was served by the windows rattled If anyone can show what's beautifully human Hank and Muddy and Ludwig Van can Something bigger than our own dumb lifespan If someone hits the button and we're glowing like plu-tay-nium Some fool wouldn't let it go
