| The scenery rides by just like floats lost in a parade
|
| Where the palms and tumbleweeds sail
|
| Right past the homes they stretch and they fade
|
| Rolling like movie credits far beneath the clear skies
|
| How wary does the West carry?
|
| So many sights, yeah, let’s see the sights
|
| Slow prayers with no answers
|
| Must go somewhere, fall away
|
| And the Wild West is a slow pan
|
| And the sunshine is fake
|
| And the ocean is just painted
|
| On a backdrop downtown
|
| The miniature sprawls blur from the set lights and the heat
|
| Where the summer’s path with charades
|
| Right where the sidewalks crack and they meet
|
| Just like a sad, sad actress right before her last scene
|
| How wary does the West carry?
|
| So many sights, yeah, let’s see the sights
|
| Slow prayers with no answers
|
| Must go somewhere, fall away
|
| And the Wild West is a slow pan
|
| And the sunshine is fake
|
| And the ocean is just painted
|
| On a backdrop somewhere downtown |
