Retreat! Songtext
von Cursive

They checked the shrine and the temple, but he wasn′t there
They checked the mosque and the chapel, nope, not there
Since you've been away on holiday the natives are all nightmares
Since you′ve been away on holiday I daydream you'll disappear
You keep us on a leash we can't conceive but still must adhere to

The natives are whipping each other over which god they prefer
I wish you′d do us all a favor and just defer
Since you′ve been away on holiday we don't know which god is which
And since you′ve been away on holiday
It's getting harder to give a shit
So if you stayed away on holiday we could get on with this
I mean we could evolve like this if you′d just call it quits

Since you've been away on holiday we′ve stomached your archaic rule
And since you've been away on holiday we've hosted some wars over you
So stay away on holiday, my friend, we don′t need your services
Your excuses, your mysterious ways


Your mysterious ways
Your mysterious ways
Your mysterious ways
What a mysterious way to behave
What a mysterious way to just go away
Lord let us go
Lord let us go
Lord let us go
Lord let us go
Lord let us go
Lord let us go
Lord let us go
Lord let us go
Lord let us go
Lord let us go
Lord let us go
Lord let us go
Lord let us go
Lord let us go
Lord let us go
