This Place Isn’t Here Anymore

Sometimes songs are their own best description, and I think that is the case here. I had fun making this, and I am still fascinated and surprised by it a few weeks later. Based on real events, of course. Hope you enjoy.

This place isn’t here anymore
This place isn’t here anymore
This place isn’t here anymore

The Bank of Nowhere closed all the accounts
All transactions are fraudulent now (all the cards are cancelled now)
Plastic pink flamingos flying south
This place isn’t here anymore

This place isn’t here anymore
This place isn’t here anymore
This place isn’t here anymore

Schools are empty, the golf course growing wild
There’s no water in the old swimming hole
There’s no drinks at the bar where our story’s told
This place isn’t here anymore

Junior says they don’t know what to look for
I used to know just right where we are
Now I’ve lost my way in a self-driving car
And this place isn’t here anymore
It’s not here anymore
This place isn’t here anymore
It’s gone for sure
Oh, this place isn’t here anymore
