lyrics

Notes from a desert outpost
Of a dying civilization
Scratching out a record for when this
Place is a ruin
As we all hurtle toward the
Mad max future
Lend your ears listener I have a message for ya

We were to small for our own times
Sequential generations failed
Enamored with mid century lifestyles
We’ve failed

We wanted spaces for ourselves
Felt we needed our own outside
And drew our comfort from the things we owned
Our sweet beloved objects

about

Crawford Smith Flagstaff, Arizona

Moved to Austin in hope of finding that sense of cowboy authenticity. Still a fake cowboy. Now in Flagstaff, still fake.
