Basement
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
See me in the basement
Watching the water rise
See me in the classroom
Watching the seconds tick by
See me in the attic
Trying out a new disguise
See me in the hallways
Avoiding everybody's eyes
I was on a stoney beach
Watching the sea birds fly
I was looking at a mountain side
From the back of a bus, so high
The past is filled with episodes
No one will televise
I was in the basement
Watching the water rise
I was in the classroom
Watching the seconds tick by
See me in the attic
Trying out a new disguise
See me in the hallways
Avoiding everybody's eyes
I was on a stoney beach
Watching the sea birds fly
I was looking at a mountain side
From the back of a bus, so high
The past is filled with episodes
No one will televise
