Subterranean Sway (Version 2)

Verse

Basement door, the bass gets low

Coat check gone an hour ago

Shuffle steps on a concrete floor

Nobody's counting anymore

Kick drum ticking through my shoes

Sipping something I didn't choose

Strobe light catches a stranger's grin

Room folds over and pulls me in

Pre-Chorus

Snare rolls in and my knees go soft

Ceiling spinning, I'm floating off

Can't find the wall, don't need the wall

Just the sway and the swing of it all

Chorus

Subterranean sway, subterranean sway

Feet on the floor but my mind's away

Bass in my ribs, gold in the haze

Subterranean sway, subterranean sway

Verse

Low ceiling drips with amber light

Same four bars all through the night

Someone's hand finds mine in the dark

Don't know their name, don't need to ask

Speaker cloth breathing against my back

Two-step shuffle keeps the track

Ice cube melting in a plastic cup

Time got lost when the bass came up

Pre-Chorus

Hi-hat ticking, my eyes go small

Floor tilts sideways, love the fall

Can't find my name, don't need it now

Just the sway and the low end somehow

Chorus

Subterranean sway, subterranean sway

Feet on the floor but my mind's away

Bass in my ribs, gold in the haze

Subterranean sway, subterranean sway

Bridge

Somewhere up there the sky's turning blue

Down here it's just the bass and you

Don't wake me yet, don't turn up the light

Let the low end hold me one more night

Chorus

Subterranean sway, subterranean sway

Feet on the floor but my mind's away

Bass in my ribs, gold in the haze

Subterranean sway, subterranean sway
