Waiting for the ship to pull in
Every time that you’re waiting 
I smell a little bit of fear
Hoping for your chains to break 
Every time you start hoping 
I see a little bit of shame

Wasteland, how did we get here?
Wasteland, where do we go from here?
Wasteland, oh it’s such a nice place
‘Cause these lands will never betray

Watching how the dip sets in
Every time that you’re watching 
I smell a little bit of fear
Breathing just to stay awake
Every time you start breathing 
I see a little bit of shame

Wasteland, how did we get here?
Wasteland, where do we go from here?
My wasteland, oh it’s such a nice place
‘Cause these lands will never betray

Don’t call me when you’re still waiting 
(Confusion no illusion)
Don’t tell me when you’re still waiting 
(Confusion no illusion)
You’re such a shame

Waiting for a ship to pull in
Every time that you’re waiting 
I still smell the fear for a sinking ship
Hoping for those chains to break 
Every time you start hoping 
I still see the shame for my broken chain 

Wasteland, how did we get here?
Wasteland, where do we go from here?
Wasteland, oh it’s such a nice place
‘Cause these lands will never betray

Don’t call me when you’re still waiting 
(Confusion no illusion)
Don’t tell me when you’re still waiting 
(Confusion no illusion)
You’re such a shame

Domino is proud to announce 'Look Around', a compiled retrospective from the legendary Beat Happening.   Formed in the early ‘80s at Evergreen College in Olympia, Washington by Calvin Johnson, Heather Lewis and Bret Lunsford, Beat Happening combined a modern primitive pop sound with the D.I.Y. ethos of ‘anyone can do it’ and inspired countless bands and labels along the way. The music community that arose around the band and their label, K, was in many ways, the sonic antithesis of their Seattle neighbors (and friends) but was no less influential. ‘Look Around’ is a remastered, career-spanning double album anthology, handpicked by the band and a great starting point for the uninitiated as well as a refreshing reminder to those who caught the wave the first time around.

The legend of Beat Happening, and of K, is full of big names they worked with before they were stars (Beck, Modest Mouse, The Gossip), and big names they influenced (Kurt Cobain, Sleater-Kinney) Less acknowledged, however, is that the band created some of the most original and surprising music to come out of the often deliberately weird American punk rock tradition.
