Текст песни: Sub-Basement + перевод

Ever since I started out I keep on sinkin' in the pit

Times change called my name told me that

I’d grow out of it

Out of step and time

Ain’t worth a dime

Or they told me so

I’ll stay a wrong sided hit

I don’t like what’s on the radio

Torn down and been condemned

Like a tenement now

But in the trap door cellar

There’s a special lamp glow

And still down deeper

Where you cannot see with eyes

Is the ramp to the damp

Where the sub-basement cries

No escape

Through the years and the tears

Under black cloud skies

Seems the lower that I go

Is where my true heart lies

And when I’m stuck in the thick of it

There’s no need to roam

Some think of me as fried but it’s a choice all my own

I’ve been called a dinosaur relic

Stuck in the twilight zone

But stickin' in the sub-basement

Keeps me lit to the bone

Like the bats hanging dormant

In their nocturnal fleet

I’m still around underground

Gettin' my peace without sleep

No escape

There’s no way out

No doubt

No way out

So when the strands on the spiders loom

Cast a glow in the room

Won’t be long for the web has caught a new prey for doom

And there ain’t no worry

About any fee or rent

As long as cement songs keep climbing

Out of the sub-basement

Ain’t no worry about no fee

And there ain’t any rent

As long as cement songs keep climbin' out of the

Sub-basement

No escape

Ain’t no doubt — no way out — no doubt

Sssshhhh — aaaahhhh
