[Intro]
I wanna tell you 'bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat
It comes out of the Virginia swamps, cool and slow
With a back beat narrow and hard to master
[Verse 1]
Some call it heavenly in its brilliance
Others, mean and rueful of the western dream
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft
We've constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping
For this is the land where the Pharaoh die
[Verse 2]
Children, the river contains specimens
The voices of singing women call us on the far shore
And they are saying
"Forget the night, live with us in forests of azure"
Meager food for souls forgot
[Outro]
I tell you this
No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn
And one morning you awoke
And the strange sun
And opening your door
