One more day I may forget my reason Some would say we bathed like a harpoon Followed politely south it feels like treason Live out my days beneath the Texas moon Started out a cardshark in Palm City Playing for another tablespoon Lost my fancy vest and both my kidneys Two red jacks and one red Texas moon I met a bunch of fools in Oklahoma Their leader was a loathsome old baboon Had those rascals hooked on homemade soma Hooked on that yeah and the Texas moon He knew a house that opened up in Dallas I'll stick within [2:39] a darkened sweetened room She said "I pray you can't accept that fallacy" "But lie down here and feel the Texas moon" Crying is no substitute for laughter I would have felt but now I'm feeling used I'm hell bent for the here and ever after Cold white fire like the Texas moon And I expect to find life there unpleasant My exit will be most inopportune I'm leaving while I can see this crescent The crescent of the ghostly Texas moon Songtexte It can't be any hotter than this jail It can't be any colder than this mood It can't be any deader than a doornail Or half as live as the Texas moon Mother send no flowers for my passing Surely life is just one long lampoon Brother end your vigilance and your fasting I'm going down beneath the Texas moon Aus Songtexte Mania
