Truckstop Cassettes

歌詞

Shot from the green cannon of late spring The map on your lap unfolding Some states don't rate even a blur Toothpaste across your reflection in muddy water We had truckstop cassettes of Isaac Hayes and Patsy Cline Sang "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 But I thought my eyes had seen it all I thought my eyes had seen it all There may lie beauty up ahead that our language can't capture it all But I thought my eyes had seen it all Slept all night in the dry scrub You 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 "Cruiser's 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 But I thought my eyes had seen it all I thought my eyes had seen it all There may be desolation down the 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 at best A sparkling mirage at worst A sea to another shining sea The tape ate the player ate the tape ate me
