lyrics

n the lakes and in the canyons
All the states wrapped into one
All those shapes like origami
Colorado, Oregon
All the wash could be remembered
The soft surveillance of laundry loads
And every mile that passes under
The lowest highways and country roads
And all the fires of industry
The things we had forgotten
Well they're coming back to me
Running down the dunes
Blazing trails through Appalachia
All the trucks of Tokyo
And all my blue jeans are dying
Telecasts from Mexico
New glory days are here again
They bring me back to something
That I felt once in a dream
Running down the dunes
And tumbling towards the sea
In the lakes and in the canyons
Years of footage down the drain—and a curse of metal
Sinking down to the bottom
Where it lives forever in our hearts
