Lyrics:
Economy’s wild, but the sunsets in Phoenix never go out of style
I watch the colours get real, the pink and the teal
I see a dust devil, I see an elevator
I see a Flagstaff get-together
Surprise me, when I get home
For the first time I really don’t feel alone
Or anything sad, or anything profound
I just feel gentle like the drugs I do when you’re not around
In the parking lot looking at the sky
The heat is beating down but at least it’s dry
I see a white van and a blue van parked side by side
With the windows rolled down, and our friends arrive
While the headlining band is getting high
Take me out, when I get home
For the first time I really don’t feel alone
Or anything sad, or anything profound
I just feel gentle like the drugs I do when you’re not around
Gentle like the drugs I do when you’re not around
Gentle like the drugs I do when you’re not around
