The Wasp (texas Radio And The Big Beat) Lyrics - Live At The Bowl 68 - The Doors

I wanna tell you 'bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat 

Comes out of the Virginia swamps 

Cool and slow with plenty of precision 

With a back beat narrow and hard to master 

Some call it heavenly in its brilliance 

Others, mean and ruthful of the Western dream 

I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft 

We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping 

This is the land where the Pharaoh died

Your Favorite 'Game of Thrones' Characters Get Reimagined as Album Art 

The Negroes in the forest brightly feathered 

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" 

Now, listen to this and I'll tell you 'bout the heartache 

I'll tell you 'bout the heartache and the loss of God 

I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night 

The meager food for souls forgot 

I'll tell you 'bout the maiden with wrought iron soul 

I'll tell you this 

No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn 

I'll tell you 'bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat 

Soft, driven slow and mad, like some new language

Now, listen to this and I'll tell you 'bout the Texas 

I'll tell you 'bout the Texas Radio 

I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night 

Wandering the Western dream 

Tell you 'bout the maiden with wrought iron soul
