lyrics

I pulled into town at midnight
Traffic lights gone dark
Drive past brick and mortar shells, hotels half caved in on themselves
Making tragedy from art

I took two grams of mushrooms
Laid outside on the lawn
Spent my life inside an 8 pt font on the North Saskatchewan
Mistaking tragedy for art
Just drunk kids lost in the dark

I think about you when I'm high
I don't know how to look away
Slow motion car crash in my mind
We're a predator and prey
We're the restaurant that closed and upped the vacancy rate
A note you can't harmonize
You should come on by

You're a pimple on the prairie
You're an ad break in the way
Shall I compare thee to an old cliché, railway catastrophe
Explaining how the west was won
Ride off into the sun
Ride off into the sun

Take my memory I won't mind
I won't use it anyway
You fill the space I leave behind
Trade the past for progress any day
Why don't you buy some land, build stadiums 2 city blocks wide?
Blame the homeless for the crime
Why won't you come on by?
Its nice in the summertime

A patch of dirt, and empty sky
All dressed in wheat and pine and hay
I'm slowly leaving you behind
Stop coming home to you someday
