about

Once upon a time we went to Monument Valley.

lyrics

Tumbleweed and red dust storms interrupt our dreams
As we pray for rain that never comes
Clutching cotton threads that keep us from falling
This land consumes us whole
And there is always a fear of falling
Yeah, there is always a fear of falling

Out next to the rain god mesa
Distance is lost
And time it starts to stop
The silence is lasting

Paper money is lost in a plastic town
That appears on the horizon like a rising sun
There are no clocks and the lights are always on
The noise it never stops
But the plastic colosseums will fall
long before the originals

Out next to the rain god mesa
Distance is lost
And time it starts to stop
The silence is lasting

Canyons criss-cross the landscape
And in the long run rivers win the war against rock.
Bow and arrows win the war against gunpowder
Cause powder don’t come cheap
And this is a land you can’t defeat
