Bamboo Walls Lyrics by Jake Brantley

Dream Phase

2024

[Verse 1]
Asleep on the bullet train seat
Sailing west to reach the east
So many summer days I couldn't get back
Zigzagging the corners of an empty map
Growing up alone
In little Tokyo
Drinking from mini China
Watching the ships go
Somewhere in Shanghai
We will descend
Into the bamboo walls that glisten
So wonderfully
[Verse 2]
In the Fuji apple valley of ecstasy
Just like the pandas, it's "unbearable"
I have to sleep
It's like speeding the Magarigawa Club Circuit
Too quickly and so formulaic
Wise chocolate turtles
And origami sights
Hot spring baths
And so much "Seoul" in the Mapo skies
Too many places on Earth
To see 'еm all in the length of a night
To get into thе bamboo walls with just one life
[Verse 3]
I saw the concrete collapse
While I was up on the roof
Kowloon Walled City
Was gone just like you
And it was so amazing
To see the people inside
Feel the springtime Sun
For the very first time
They would rather be free
From the streets of unlaw
I would rather be living
In bamboo walls
[PreChorus]
But I can't stop watching the clock
Living in bamboo walls
No I can't stop watching the clock
Living in bamboo walls
[Synth Solo]
[Chorus]
But I can't stop watching the clock
Living in bamboo walls
No I can't stop watching the clock
Living in bamboo walls
