THE WASP (TEXAS RADIO & THE BIG BEAT)

Em

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.

E, F, E, F, G, E, F#, E, F#, A, A#, B,

E, F#, E, F#, E, F#, G#, G, F#, E, Em.

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."

I want to tell you about Texas Radio and the big beat,

soft driven, slow and mad like some new language.
