Lyrics

Bodies

It's another suburban summer
The street lights blink on
If you're passing the house on the corner
You'd think no one's home
But when I feel that resonation
Waving with the weight
Grown bodies in the basement
And when you swing my way
Won't wait, no way, no way
Warm bodies in the basement
When I feel that 808 go
Waving with the weight
Grown bodies in the basement
And when you swing my way
Won't wait, no way, no way
Warm bodies in the basement
Your body on mine
Body and mind
My body's in the basement
Your body on mine
Body and mind
Bodies in the basement
I'm still thinking about that summer
Lying awake all alone
Keep on passing the house on the corner
But there's nobody home
But when I feel that resonation
Waving with the weight
Grown bodies in the basement
And when you swing my way
Won't wait, no way, no way
Warm bodies in the basement
When I feel that 808 go
Waving with the weight
Grown bodies in the basement
And when you swing my way
Won't wait, no way, no way
Warm bodies in the basement
Your body on mine
Body and mind
My body's in the basement
Your body on mine
Body and mind
My body's in the basement
Your body on mine
Body and mind
Bodies in the basement
Oh wait, oh wait, oh wait
No way, no way, no way
No way, no way, no way, no
Oh wait, oh wait, oh wait
No way, no way, no way
My body's in the basement
