Your base line has got me feeling fine
It’s filling up my mind
I’ve got two pale hands up against the window pane
I’m shaking with the heat of my need again
Starts in my feet, reverbs up to my brain
There’s nothing I can do to revert the gain
I’m looking down to the street below
There’s nothing in the way they move to show
They too know what I know,
They too hunger for the beast below
Listening to the radio I feel so out of place
There’s a certain something missing that the treble can’t erase
I know you can tell just by looking at my face
A word about my weakness
I’m totally addicted to base
a-waowa-ow...
...a-waowa-ow
There’s nothing I can do to be cool
I don’t sleep till I’ve had my fuel
It frustrates if I’m deprived
A hunger that grates from deep inside
Feel like I’m doing time
Imprisoned by dependence on a rhythm sublime
In my mind I must overcome the need to define
Solitary silence of a faceless crime
Standing by the stereo I’m feeling so alone
With my back against the speaker and I’m moving on my own
Surrounded by so many and they’re staring at my face
They’re picking up my problem
I’m totally addicted to base
a-waowa-ow...
...a-waowa-ow
Your base line is shooting up my spine
a-waowa-ow
Your base line has got me feeling fine
It’s filling up my mind
Summer’s at my window, I look down on the street
People I see everywhere are tapping their feet
Suddenly I realise in that look that I was wrong
Everybody’s grooving to their own song
Down at the scene below
There’s something in the way they move to show
They too know what I know
They too hunger for the beast below
Rhythm’s running over me to wash away my fears
The back beat of humanity it sweetens my tears
There's something that's connected us down throughout the years
There’s no need to feel so lonely
Everyone’s addicted to base
