- Retreat Lyrics / with translationsReal things conditioning will lose their meaning.
The toilet starts flushing; sets me off again.
But I am a thorn, I read it in your face.
The cough's a thunderclap, my head's a tape recorder.
The toilet starts flushing; sets me off again.
But I am a thorn, I read it in your face.
The cough's a thunderclap, my head's a tape recorder.
