lyrics

There’s no mistake you came in a dream
Worlds fell in line arranging the orbs
Alchemist babies laugh mindlessly
Over a cauldron they oughtn’t own
So clearly we must be to blame
While you gladly set the land aflame

Another day down on the music farm
Sew them seeds every day
Another day thought spent reducing harm
A simpleton with no agency
No direction no trajectory
No intention no liability

Where ya comin from comin from
Bubblegum bubblegum boy
Got us under thumb under thumb
Bubblegum bubblegum boy
Always find a way to stretch it out another day
Write a song to hum ‘til we’re dumb
Bubblegum bubblegum boy

The old mill town convenes to hold your hand
Across the valley way
Rest on his perch to survey the land
Oh mighty eye so focused down the tube
Knowing how you loathe distraction
We leave you to your mission

Where ya comin from comin from
Bubblegum bubblegum boy
Got us under thumb under thumb
Bubblegum bubblegum boy
Always find a way to stretch it out another day
Write a song to hum ‘til we’re dumb
Bubblegum bubblegum boy

Another life spent underneath his charm
Pay fealty every day
With a throat that’s soft and chest so warm
How could we have it any other way
Will the paperboy ever bring the news
Of a day where we’ll be rid of you

Where ya comin from comin from
Bubblegum bubblegum boy
Got us under thumb under thumb
Bubblegum bubblegum boy
Always find a way to stretch it out another day
Just write a song to hum ‘til we’re dumb
Bubblegum bubblegum boy
Just write a song to hum ‘til we’re dumb
Bubblegum bubblegum boy

Dark synthpop/darkwave that succeeds mightily in crafting compelling moods and movements with brilliant songwriting. At times there’s almost an alt-rock vibe, but overall the sound makes me think of some of the darker and more somber Duran Duran songs. That said, I could have done without the admittedly and thankfully infrequent usage of autotune on the vocals. Lute FP
