Fourth Track on Swans S/T EP. Could have something to do with the story about Gira having to crawl toward someone blindfolded in an art project and have sex with them. Can’t seem to find a source however.
[Verse 1]
Standing naked in the corner
Sinking into the ground
Our hands connected to our feet
Our shadows burnt in the wall
Let the insomniac dream
[Hook]
Getting taken to the basement
Getting fucked to ease some tension
Getting taken to the basement
Getting fucked to ease some tension
Getting taken to the basement
Getting fucked to ease some tension
Getting taken to the basement
Getting fucked to ease some tension
[Verse 2]
Strapped to the chair
Skin peeled back
Turned inside out
Shows the sickening fact
[Hook]
Getting taken to the basement
Getting fucked to ease some tension
Getting taken to the basement
Getting fucked to ease some tension
Getting taken to the basement
Getting fucked to ease some tension
Getting taken to the basement
Getting fucked to ease some tension
Getting taken to the basement
Getting fucked to ease some tension
Getting taken to the basement
Getting fucked to ease some tension
[Verse 3]
Connecting tongues in the basement
X's tongue move moves down Y's throat
Y spits it back and fills X: stalemate
Tied together in a permanent knot
Pressed together into one face
They trade a sound that comes up from the stomach
And spits in the other one's throat
[Hook]
Getting taken to the basement
Getting fucked to ease some tension
Getting taken to the basement
Getting fucked to ease some tension
