lyrics

Without really making a plan
Without really taking into account
I started drawing someone I thought I knew
looking out from behind a cactus
in a magazine photograph from the 70s

Ballpoint blue kid on sunwashed yellow-green
Everything seemed to live that kind of light
Ballpoint blue kid, yellow-green western retro
Everything seems to float in that kind of light

Turn right when you reach the south canyon
you'll know you're there when you start to breathe
Turn right when you get back to the canyon
you'll know it's time to breathe, when you feel the heat

Without turning anything on
Without really setting anything up
I started drawing on something I thought I knew
In the shadow of a cactus
in a magazine photograph from the 70s

Ballpoint blue kid on sunwashed yellow-green
Everything seems to live in that kind of light
Ballpoint blue kid, yellow-green western retro
Everything seems to float in that kind of light
