[Verse 1] I rolled in the cut, black socks on School bell rang, now the lock been gone Cadillac slow in the lot like a hearse I keep the good suit stained with a curse Moonwalk grin with a razor edge Juke joint eyes and a noose on the wedge She said, "Boy, you trouble," I said, "I know" Then the bass line crept and the whole room froze [Pre-Chorus] Red cup shaking in my hand Every pretty lie got a wedding band I hear them laugh, then I hear them scream Same sweet face in the smoke machine Close that door Count to four Something in the floorboards wanting more [Chorus] Basement prom night Dance with the dead Basement prom night Night in my head Basement prom night Kiss and a bite Basement prom night Out of sight [Verse 2] Twelve-inch chain and a churchyard stare I left my fingerprints on the chapel stair My coupe got teeth and my wrist got ice But my whole damn town payin' my price She want that danger, I want that grin We spin that truth till it crack right in The sax cry out like a siren call And the whole back room start to crawl [Pre-Chorus] Red cup shaking in my hand Every pretty lie got a wedding band I hear them laugh, then I hear them scream Same sweet face in the smoke machine Close that door Count to four Something in the floorboards wanting more [Chorus] Basement prom night Dance with the dead Basement prom night Night in my head Basement prom night Kiss and a bite Basement prom night Out of sight [Bridge] Put your hands where the shadows grow Tell me what you know, tell me what you know If the lights go red and the faces slip Keep that little smile on your lip Na-na, come closer Na-na, don't run When the record stops We're not done [Chorus] Basement prom night Dance with the dead Basement prom night Night in my head Basement prom night Kiss and a bite Basement prom night Out of sight
