Basement Apartment
I don’t want to’ live in a (Basement Apartment) By Ray Scott
Rumble, stumble I can’t sleep
Howling’ hound, heavy on your feets
Ceiling’s fallin’ down on me
Work all week and I can’t find peace
I don’t want to live in a basement apartment
All this overtime’s made me a wreck
I am not at home in your basement apartment
I’m so sick and tired of paying rent
I’m so sick and tired of paying rent
All my overtime, already spent
Plaster falling on my couch
Scurry, furry little mouse
Cold air blows through old window
Furnace heat’s outta’ my control
I don’t want to live in a basement apartment
Feel like blowin’ fuses purposely
I don’t want to pay for your many vacations
I just want to play guitar in peace
Every day and every night on eggshells of anxiety
I’m so worried, I don’t even like to come home
Final nerve is fraying at both ends, down to the bone
All I want’s to be a man, securely standing on his own two feet
Cuz’ heart is where the home is
I don’t want to live in a basement apartment
Tired of paying for my life’s mistakes (someone else take over)
I don’t want to live in a basement apartment
Why the Hell Can I not catch one break! (knock it off up there! For God Damn Sake!)
I don’t want to live in a basement apartment
I’m so sick n’ tired of paying rent
I’m so sick n’ tired of paying rent
All my overtime and no one up there seems to go to work
What do I keep on doing this shit for!
