Great Retreat

from Happy Me Now by Bubble Made Imagination

/

lyrics

Can I get more visuals, I say
Stained coffee mugs
Softly cupped by
Dry cracked hands on a winter day
As she sits alone on the bed
I think about it
I guess that’s why
It’s ok

Can I talk about things
Not about me
It’s hard to do
When you stay inside
Am I making noise just to be seen?
Or cuz there ain’t no heart on my sleeve?
It might be easier
To go up
To
The street

What if the television suddenly stopped?
And the lights went out from Georgia to Maine?
And wind-strewn trash left the pits for the plains?
And the fires finally won the western states?
Would the civil war be civil?
Could our children eat?
Would music play at the campsites
During the great retreat?

Can you go to town and get the scoop?
Ram or bus or foot, it doesn’t matter
Focus on the people
Their thoughts and moods
Try to sit back and let them groove
Try to listen
For once you
Selfish
Fool

What if the television suddenly stopped?
And the lights went out from Georgia to Maine?
And wind-strewn trash left the pits for the plains?
And the fires finally won the western states?

Can your outside thoughts
Not go to the end?
It’s a weird form of privilege
Oh yeah
Not concerned with the present or friends
Wrapped up in existentialism
It’s self-absorption
Posing as
Intelligence

What if the television suddenly stopped?
And the lights went out from Georgia to Maine?
And wind-strewn trash left the pits for the plains?
And the fires finally

What if the television suddenly stopped?
And the lights went out from Georgia to Maine?
And wind-strewn trash left the pits for the plains?
And the fires finally won the western states?
Would the civil war be civil?
Could our children eat?
Would music play at the campsites
During the great retreat?

Hi, I’m Andy, I make rock music in my home studio whenever time allows. I’m a child of the eighties, learned guitar in the nineties, mimicked the writing of indie rock in the early aughts, and have been winging it ever since. I have a DIY attitude and philosophy to make what I want to hear, do best with what I’ve got and treat each song as a time capsule. ... more
