She's upstairs and so I'm headed for the basement Where Mercury is up and sinkin' in to the bass As treble is piercing I try a serenade now Hostess I'm glad you're here Hostess I'm glad you're here And can't grab the tempo calliope is so in tune Every measure I take a beating I was so far down I dreamt I was nil and tried to climb back in the matrix Hostess I'm glad you're here All slumped over crumpled in a shambles I've got to get outside in the air in the air Buses speed by to where the out going go at night And I'd unmask each one til they exile me None of us could bare it So a spoonful of this and a pint of this Mix me up a hideout Mix me up a hideout Hostess Hostess I'm glad you're here I'm glad you're here
