Bolt the Basement lyrics
Intro
Bolt the basement, key's long gone
Floor below where the night stays on
Verse
Steps go down, don't count no more
Twelve to the dark, then a steel door
Bass comes up through the concrete floor
Feet find the pulse, we don't need more
Pre-Chorus
Who locked the hatch and threw the key
Clock's stopped dead where the bass runs free
Nobody's leaving, nobody's late
Down here time don't hold no weight
Chorus
Bolt the basement, bolt it tight
Lost the exit, lost the light
Bass keeps the door, we keep the floor
Bolt the basement, don't need no more
Verse
Sweat on the pipes, drips on the beat
Low end climbs from our chest to feet
Ceiling's low but the room feels wide
Sub keeps time when the clocks all lied
Pre-Chorus
Who locked the hatch and threw the key
Clock's stopped dead where the bass runs free
Nobody's leaving, nobody's late
Down here time don't hold no weight
Chorus
Bolt the basement, bolt it tight
Lost the exit, lost the light
Bass keeps the door, we keep the floor
Bolt the basement, don't need no more
Outro
Steel stays shut, the bass stays on
Bolt the basement till the night is gone
