Shake the Foundation

[Verse 1]
The linoleum floor of the apartment on East 4th Street
Where I'll live alone, feels the cold through my bare feet.
It's a future I'm rehearsing, a room with just one chair,
My empty hands tracing patterns on the cold night air.

[Chorus]
Shake the foundation!
This is my new salvation.
Just this vibration, turn it up for the whole damn nation.

[Verse 2]
But tonight, the bassline's walking through the party's humid haze,
Your hand is on my back, been there for a couple days.
The air smells like cheap perfume and the city in the rain,
Someone shouts, "You can't stop this train!"

[Chorus]
Shake the foundation!
This is my new salvation.
Just this vibration, turn it up for the whole damn nation.

[Bridge]
That quiet room is waiting, with its neatly folded dread.
A two-chord, three-note FURY BURNS INSIDE MY HEAD!

[Outro]
The linoleum floor of the apartment on East 4th Street...
Yeah, the rhythm's in the concrete.
