Shot from the green cannon of late spring
The map on your lap unfolding
Some states don't rave(?) in a blur
Toothpaste across your reflection in muddy water
We had truckstop cassettes and Liza Ks and Patsy Cline
Send "Strange" in the desert every night at nine
Purple light on your face in the canyon at dusk
I thought I might as well go blind
I thought I might as well go blind
I thought my eyes had seen it all
I thought my eyes had seen it all
Then they lie to you in your head that our language can't capture it all
But I thought my eyes had seen it all
Slept all night in the dry scrub
Crawled from the thicket with a new love
Sleep in our eyes and I pulled a bug off your back
You said "Leave me alone. Just let nature attack us"
We had truckstop cassettes of Smokey Robinson and Kinks
The tape hit the player just as we hit Cruisers Creek
Our time was turning dusty yellow but the sun on your forehead shone pink
I thought the worst was over
Just goes to show I shouldn't think
I thought my eyes had seen it all
I thought my eyes had seen it all
They made me desperation down this road and just down this hall but
I thought my eyes had seen it all
The tape ate the player ate the tape ate me
The tape ate the player ate the tape ate me
The tape ate the player ate the tape ate me
I promised you the best: a sparkling mirage at worst, a sea to another
shining sea
The tape ate the player ate the tape ate me
