Texas Moon Lyrics

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

He 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 it in her 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 everafter

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

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
