The Party In The Basement Lyrics

There was a party in the basement
and you were wearing the finest
black out I've ever seen
with just a stumble down the staircase
you grabbed a can of red spray paint
and left a message for the morning
you left a message for the morning

and now i'm finding that I'm waking up
now i'm seeing that were breaking up
clean it up
this alcohol should kill us before we begin
now I'm feeling like I'm drunk enough
feeling just fucked up enough
to start to clean it all
this alcohol should kill us before we begin
again

there was a party in the basement
my bed was playing the best motley crue covers you've ever heard
you took tumble down the staircase
saw you kiss everyone on the way
gave us something to talk about
in the morning

now I'm finding that I'm waking up
now I'm seeing that we're breaking up
between it all
this alcohol should of killed us before we began
now i'm feeling like i'm drunk enough
feeling just fucked up enough
to clean it up
this alcohol should of killed us before we begin
again

Girls Flockin' To Yr Feet

There was a party in the basement
and you were wearing the finest
black out I've ever seen
with just a stumble down the staircase
you grabbed a can of red spray paint
and left a message for the morning
you left a message for the morning

and now i'm finding that I'm waking up
now i'm seeing that were breaking up
clean it up 
this alcohol should kill us before we begin
now I'm feeling like I'm drunk enough 
feeling just fucked up enough
to start to clean it all
this alcohol should kill us before we begin 
again

there was a party in the basement
my bed was playing the best motley crue covers you've ever heard
you took tumble down the staircase
saw you kiss everyone on the way
gave us something to talk about 
in the morning

now I'm finding that I'm waking up
now I'm seeing that we're breaking up
between it all
this alcohol should of killed us before we began
now i'm feeling like i'm drunk enough
feeling just fucked up enough 
to clean it up 
this alcohol should of killed us before we begin

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
