Based very loosely on Lovecraft's "The Shunned House" and also on the band's house at the time.

(chorus)
There's something in the basement!
What can it be?
There's something in the basement!
Waiting for me!
There's something in the basement!
Waiting to scare!
There's something in the basement!
I'm not going down there!

The mold is growing all around the rafters
Living in this house could be a big disaster
It's taking my life over, making it my master
I think there's something living in the wall plaster

(chorus)

If these dreams I have keep on growing
I think that my madness surely will start growing
Friends don't come around thinking that I'm crazy
But I know that hold is going to get me!

(chorus)

When I moved in this house my soul I sold
to the white moss that horrible mold
Now I hear it pounding on the locked basement door
That's it for me, I'm not living here no more!

(chorus)
