Deep Thoughts from Arizona's Most Affordable Mental Health Facility

Man I can't believe that this whole damn canyon
Was carved out by a river we can barely see from here
Truly if you ask me, all of this appears
To be the abandoned mine of a celestial engineer
A celestial engineer who never really gave a shit
No, he stranded us all here to curse his name while seeing it

They told me the natural beauty
Would help me forget all the shooting
But I just see the far side of the canyon
So close I can almost reach
So close I might just leap

After all the sins of the wars and reservations
Tourism brings the other kind of Indians
They want to show their children a wonder of creation
To make up for the hellscape those kids'll be living in
They pat'em on the head and say it's gonna be okay
But when I talk to the dead I'm the one who's put away

They told me the natural beauty
Would help me forget all the shooting
But I just see the far side of the canyon
So close I can almost reach
So close I might just leap

When two of your wives happen to die in quick succession
You have to answer questions posed by the FBI
Homie, I don't buy that they both just slipped and fell in
As much as I hate cops you ought to spend some time in prison
To think about your crimes while I forget about my tours
And I guess this is why I shouldn't talk to people anymore

They told me the natural beauty
Would help me forget all the shooting
But I just see the far side of the canyon
So close I can almost reach
So close I might just leap
