[Verse 1]
The scenery rides by just like floats lost in a parade
Where the palms and tumbleweeds sail
Right past the homes they stretch and they fade
Rolling like movie credits far beneath the clear skies
[Chorus]
How wary does the West carry?
So many sights, yeah, let's see the sights
Slow prayers with no answers
Must go somewhere, fall away
And the Wild West is a slow pan
And the sunshine is fake
And the ocean is just painted
On a backdrop downtown
[Verse 2]
The miniature sprawls blur from the set lights and the heat
Where the summer's path with charades
Right where the sidewalks crack and they meet
Just like a sad, sad actress right before her last scene
[Chorus]
How wary does the West carry?
So many sights, yeah, let's see the sights
Slow prayers with no answers
Must go somewhere, fall away
And the Wild West is a slow pan
And the sunshine is fake
And the ocean is just painted
On a backdrop somewhere downtown
