Texas Moon Lyrics - Church

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
