She's upstairs and so
I'm headed for the basement
Where mercury is up and sinking in
To the bass
This 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
Hostess
I'm glad you're here

All slumped over
Crumpled in a shambles
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.
