I want to tell you about Texas Radio 
and the big beat
It comes out of the Virginia swamps
cool and slow with rugged precision
with a backbeat narrow and hard to master

[Em]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 have constructed pyramids in 
honour of our escaping
This is the land where the Pharaoh died

[Em]The negroes in the forest  brightly feathered  
and they are saying
Forget the night! Live with us 
in forests of azure
out here on the perimeter  there are no stars
Out here we is stoned immaculate

[Em]I want to tell you about Texas Radio 
and the big beat
soft driven  slow and mad 
like some new language.
