[intro is instrumental chorus]
D C Em G
[verse]
Bm C G
Cellar floor on bare feet.
Bm C G
We come down here to beat the heat.
Bm C G
Orange sofa, yellow chair.
Bm C G
The antenna in the air.
[verse]
Bm C G
Saw an ad for "Plate World"
Bm C G
Or we'd watch M.A.S.H. three times a day.
Bm C G
Sign says no. "No Feet On Table"
Bm C G
Sign says no, we can't get cable.
A D
And a brand new station blows our minds.
C Em D
Everything is changing on TV.
C Em D
What Cable could enable us to see.
C Em
But, in the air there is a sound,
A
From outer space or all around.
[chorus]
D C Em G
On 66, UHF, there are videos, music videos.
D C Em G
No radio. No stereo. We sold our souls to V--66.
Ab A
In the basement. Out on Bass Rocks.
[verse]
Bm C G
An air-wave raid, sound Trevor's Horn.
Bm C G
So we watched pop become reborn.
A D
You can put the blame on you and me.
C Em D
Everything is changing on TV.
C Em D
A snare drum full of milk, it works for me.
C Em
But, in the air there is a sound,
A
From outer space or all around.

Ab A
In the basement. Out on Bass Rocks.
D C Em G
The astronaut from MTV shut them down, all those V.J.s.
D C Em G
I got a tape on VHS, we can watch V66.
Ab A
In the basement. Out on Bass Rocks.
