Retreat Lyrics - Singles - The Rakes

I'm walking unknown territory, where the sun's not shining 

There's nothing golden about Golden Lane 

The smoke is heavy in my lungs and the adverts are working 

I just can't sell for who or what I am 

I don't wanna miss out on anything 

At the same time I feel the need to retreat 

Everything is temporary these days 

Might as well go out for a third night in a row 

Should I give my money to a good cause or save for a holiday? 

In a couple of months I could be in paradise 

But the girl at the bar is well nice and she's looking over 

It's only right that I get the next round in 

I don't wanna miss out on anything 

At the same time I feel the need to retreat 

Everything is temporary these days 

Might as well go out for a fifth night in a row 

Walk home, come down, retreat to sleep 

Wake up, go out again, repeat 

Walk home, come down, retreat to sleep 

Hook up, again this time, next week 

Walk home, come down, retreat to sleep 

Wake up, go out again, repeat 

Walk home, come down, retreat to sleep 

Hook up, again this time, next week 

I don't wanna miss out on anything 

At the same time I feel the need to retreat 

Everything is temporary these days 

Might as well go out for a fifth night in a row 

Walk home, come down, retreat to sleep 

Wake up, go out again, repeat 

Walk home, come down, retreat to sleep 

Hook up, again this time, next week 

Walk home, come down, retreat to sleep 

Walk home, come down, retreat to sleep 

Walk home, come down, retreat to sleep 

Hook up, again this time, next week
