Arizona

I'm pretty sure the lyrics are:

It makes it all worth it Just to step into Pacific time At six AM It pacifies

Surrounded by Flat topped unreasonable mutes Useless mock mountains Where air dried our skin like alcohol

You'd call this a landscape In any other state You'd call this a landscape In any other state You'd call this a landscape Maybe a mistake You'd call this a landscape

Nothing ever gets to her Yeah, nothing ever gets to her here She'd never leave, still

You call this a landscape In any other state You call this a landscape In any other state You call this a landscape In any other state You call this a landscape In any other state You call this a landscape In any other state

Absolutely beautiful song! I love the violin, this song just puts you into a slow drone head nod at some points of the song, one of the reasons why I love Sharks Keep Moving. Could this song be talking about the boring city scapes that could never compare to the natural ones we have around us? Save for some spots, the west is really losing it's natural beauty, and even if the natural beauty is there, people just stay in cities where they become lifeless busybodies.

i see what you mean by the city-scape not equaling up to landscape. i, however, originally pictured the useless plateaus that are in the desert climate (which dries skin) of arizona trying to equal up to mountains when they clearly aren't. but you're probably right, the rest of the song seems to follow your connection. i suppose i saw the song as a cynic singing it when it's probably more of a realist who knows better things exist.

this is what perfection must sound like

100% correct lyrics:

makes it all worth it just to step into pacific time at six am it pacifies

surrounded by flat-topped unreasonable buttes useless mock-mountains where the air dried our skin like alcohol

you call this a land scape? man, any other state

nothing ever gets to her yeah nothing ever gets to her here but she'd never leave still
