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 bu*ton and we're glowing like plu-tay-nium
Some fool wouldn't let it go
