The Fundamental Things

Let's run baby through these city streets

We're all victims of captivity

Let's stop the madness without any tricks

I'll whisper bible quotes and you can read my lipsLet's get back to the fundamental things

Let's get back to the elements of style

Let's get back to where it all began

Let's get back to the fundamental thingsLet's dance barefoot over broken glass

Slither like a snake does through the wet cold grass

Howl and tremble in a sleepless grind

Let's do the brain drain and leave it all behindLet's get back to the fundamental things

Let's get back to the elements of style

Let's get back to where it all began

Let's get back to the fundamental thingsYou can sit in your room and worry

You can contemplate the end

Or let your house burn down behind you

Run with me through the streets againLet's get back, I wanna go back

Let's get back, let's get backLet's get back to the fundamental things

Let's get back to the elements of style

Let's get back to where it all began

Let's get back to the fundamental thingsYou can hide out on your rooftop

Wishing you had never been

Or go down to Hal's Bar and Grill

And find your innocence againLet's get back, let's get back

Let's get back, I wanna go back

I've got to go back
