Lyrics
The Modern Western World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
From turnpikes to highways
And gravel into dust
From soybeans to silhouettes advancing in the dusk
Sky above I fell in love while I was sitting still
The rate at which the Rust Belt fades to Appalachian hills, oh
Drive south as history unfolds
The awe-inspiring death-defying metamodern world
Take my word I think we'll be alright
Lost myself along the way but had the greatest time
I'll pass you somewhere in the night
A stranger out in Utah gestures towards the muddy car
He said hey are you nomads, did you come from somewhere far
I said I don't know man but it feels that way today
This highway is the last breath of an empire in decay
Drive south as history unfolds
The all-providing, soon expiring modern western world
Take my word I think we'll be alright
Lost myself along the way but had the greatest time
I'll pass you somewhere in the night
