lyrics

Down in the basement, level minus one
A lonely boy picks up a cold cello

It's a trick of the light, mixing atmosphere
With a quiet slice of space

The sound travels quickly, from string to wall,
And through the wires, to a closed eye

I, I've been living in the same dream, each night
Many different writers, many set designers
Try to bring this to light
I, I've been living in the same dream, each night
Many different writers, many set designers
Try to bring this to life
But the scenes are always shot on the same soundstage

Hold your breath in the stairwell, something's not quite right
It's full of chemicals, it's full of chemicals

Can't go onto the roof, unless you've got the key
And you'll never get the key

I, I've been living in the same dream, each night
Many different writers, many set designers
Try to bring this to light
I, I've been living in the same dream, each night
Many different writers, many set designers
Try to bring this to life
And I, I keep on dreaming
I, I keep on dreaming

Down in the basement, level minus one
A lonely boy puts down his cello
