Basement Tapes

So we get
Loaded in the van and drive through the suburbs
And we set
Out on highway thirty-five to discover
What’s the plan?
Sliding through the dark in all kinds of weather
Where’s the map?
One of us is barely holding it together
I’ve still got all your basement tapes
I’m still hearing you drift away
Sing those things that you just don’t say
Right to your brother
Hide your head in the evergreen
Ply your heavenly alchemy
Still just living the Big Star dream
Live with each other
So we tool
Down to Kansas City to sleep on a sofa
And we’re cool
Temporarily cos we’re from Minnesota
Later on
Walking in the dark with a sweet babysitter
On the lawn
Talking while inside you made out with her sister
I’ve still got all your basement tapes
I’m still hearing you drift away
Sing those things that you just don’t say
Right to your brother
Hide your head in the evergreen
Ply your heavenly alchemy
Still just living the Big Star dream
Live with each other
Summer diamonds rushing by us
Wake me up when we get there
I’m still cranking your basement tapes
I’m still hearing you drift away
Sing those things that you just don’t say
Right to your brother
Hide your head in the evergreen
Ply your heavenly alchemy
Still just living the Big Star dream
Live with each other
