Church - Texas Moon lyrics
rate meOne more day I may forget my reason<br />
Some would say we bathed like a harpoon<br />
Followed politely south it feels like treason<br />
Live out my days beneath the Texas moon<br />
Started out a cardshark in Palm City<br />
Playing for another tablespoon<br />
Lost my fancy vest and both my kidneys<br />
Two red jacks and one red Texas moon<br />
I met a bunch of fools in Oklahoma<br />
Their leader was a loathsome old baboon<br />
He had those rascals hooked on homemade soma<br />
Hooked on that yeah and the Texas moon<br />
He knew a house that opened up in Dallas<br />
I'll stick it in her darkened sweetened room<br />
She said "I pray you can't accept that fallacy"<br />
"But lie down here and feel the Texas moon"<br />
Crying is no substitute for laughter<br />
I would have felt but now I'm feeling used<br />
I'm hell bent for the here and everafter<br />
Cold white fire like the Texas moon<br />
And I expect to find life there unpleasant<br />
My exit will be most inopportune<br />
I'm leaving while I can see this crescent<br />
The crescent of the ghostly Texas moon<br />
It can't be any hotter than this jail<br />
It can't be any colder than this mood<br />
It can't be any deader than a doornail<br />
Or half as live as the Texas moon<br />
Mother send no flowers for my passing<br />
Surely life is just one long lampoon<br />
Brother end your vigilance and your fasting<br />
I'm going down beneath the Texas moon
