lyrics

Taken out of context I thought it might have been
A cruel hearted lover (or one a lot like him)
Taking advantage of your thin skin
Going down into the cellar for some wine, whisky & gin
Taking advantage of the state that you were in
Down in the cellar of your soul

Buildings like crayons with unseen clientele
Taxi cabs, hot dog stands, slopes and parallels
Disappear into the ocean like an ocean hides a shell
Dancing through the dizy streets, floating on a carousel
Nothing could make me I'd never ever dwell
Down in the cellar of your soul

Thank you from the basement of my heart
Thank you that's where my thanking starts
Thank you from the basement of my heart
Down into the cellar of your soul

Deep inside my raincoat pocket there's an old box of confetti
I never got to use it much my hands all cold and sweaty
A falling star met shangri-la out on that beat up jetty
I should have thrown that paper up but something wouldn't let me
You turned and smiled so easily
You knew you'd got the best of me
Down in the cellar of your soul
Down in the cellar of your soul
Down in the cellar of your soul
