lyrics

Way back in ’72,
I was reading Pierre Bourdieu,
And he taught me that culture is not as simple as it seems.
Flash forward to ’78,
Now I’m watching Alan Resnais,
And he’s showing us that cinema is a dream.

Cause when they sing it takes me home again,
Back to a time when I was so inspired.
Though it’s easy to feel stifled as the world goes spinning by,
Losing your fight, waiting to die but still alive.

Thumbing through Roland Barthes’,
Literature and art,
And realizing I wasn’t alone in my affections
Listening to all my friends,
Their beauty it never ends,
And I wonder if Bodega has found new direction.

Cause when they sing it takes me home again,
Back to a time when I was so inspired.
Though it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all that you don’t know,
Searching your soul, looking for gold,
You can arise.

Yes,
We have accomplished everything that we’ve set out to do.
And yes,
We get overwhelmed by emotions just like any other fools.
Write on.

And sing,
Sing like the rain is pounding ready to beat down your door.
And live,
Live like a child with a heart as if you’ve never lived before.
Write on.

Cause when we sing it makes me whole again,
And i’ve never felt quite so inspired.
Though still I do get stifled as my thoughts go drifting by.
Losing my sight,
Wanting to die,
But still alive.
