Cass McCombs - American Canyon Sutra lyrics
[Cass McCombs - American Canyon Sutra lyrics]
Pile of cash, trash
Pinched into a butterfly by a rubber band
Where are you my brothers
That I may share these spoils?
Where are you my sisters
That I may repay my debt?
What a lot it is to spend this trash alone
What a lot it is, what a lot it is
What a lot it is
The garbage dump may have turned
Into a recycling center
But it looks exactly the same
The same broken bed frames, soggy cardboard
Gulls same trash I saw here when I was a kid
In fact, this used to be our playground
In American Canyon
Where Walmart employees and customers are
One and the same
They've even built apartments here to add
A residential coffin to the bargain
Guess I'll stay forever and work
For the company store
Where are you? Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you? Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you? Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you to share these spoils
This sacred American trash?
Black as my soul is
Don't leave me here alone
Here to fall into the
Bottomless canyon of nightmares
Falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling, ooh yeah
Falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling, falling
In American Canyon
Where trucks and homes are bigger
And the cops are moistly white
And they have a recycling center
And a Walmart
Pinched into a butterfly by a rubber band
Where are you my brothers
That I may share these spoils?
Where are you my sisters
That I may repay my debt?
What a lot it is to spend this trash alone
What a lot it is, what a lot it is
What a lot it is
The garbage dump may have turned
Into a recycling center
But it looks exactly the same
The same broken bed frames, soggy cardboard
Gulls same trash I saw here when I was a kid
In fact, this used to be our playground
In American Canyon
Where Walmart employees and customers are
One and the same
They've even built apartments here to add
A residential coffin to the bargain
Guess I'll stay forever and work
For the company store
Where are you? Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you? Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you? Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you to share these spoils
This sacred American trash?
Black as my soul is
Don't leave me here alone
Here to fall into the
Bottomless canyon of nightmares
Falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling, ooh yeah
Falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling, falling
In American Canyon
Where trucks and homes are bigger
And the cops are moistly white
And they have a recycling center
And a Walmart
