Basement

Everyone come with me

I'm going to break my decree

My landlord's asleep in his bed

Those noises aren't all in my head

Slowly we descend the stair

So we can see what he's got down there

Maybe it's just his mother

With his dead sister and brother!

Maybe it's where he takes ladies

Ones that disappeared in the 80s!

Perhaps he has hidden treasure

Or items for some morbid pleasure!

He's a secretive little man

I wonder what he has planned

My imagination's running wild

Haven't been scared since I was a child

Let's turn on the flashlight

Illuminate what's hidden from sight

I'm slowly reaching for the door

I hear something creaking the floor

Maybe I should turn and run

But that wouldn't be any fun!

Here we go everybody

I hope it isn't really bloody

Slowly I swing the door wide

To see what's on the other side

I shine the light all around

There is nothing to be found

Suddenly his voice comes through

'Hey, I thought I told you!

You don't go down in there

It's dangerous, you aren't aware

These stairs are not very safe

The light there I need to replace

There's so much that needs done

You're so curious so the job you've won!'
