Dissolve and die in the monotonous haze of this desolate emptiness.

I want to
tell you about Texas Radio and the big beat
It
comes out of the Virginia swamps
Cool and slow with a back beat
Narrow and hard to master
Some call it heavenly in its brilliance
Others, mean and rueful of the Western dream
I love the friends I've gathered together on this thin raft
We've constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping
For this is the land where the Pharaoh died
Children,
the river contains specimens
The voices of singing women call us on the far shore
And they are saying
"Forget the night! Live with us in forests of azure"
Meager food for souls forgot
I
tell you this
No eternal reward will forgive us now
For wasting the dawn
And one morning you awoke
And the strange sun
And opening your door...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He who
binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sun rise.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The greatest of blessings come to us through madness,
when it is sent as a gift of the gods.
Heaven-sent madness is superior to man-made sanity.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Machines were mice and men were
lions
once upon a time,
but now that it's the opposite,
it's twice upon a time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't
care if it rains or
freezes...
as long as I got my plastic jesus...
sittin' on the dashboard of my car.
Comes in
colors pink and pleasant.
Glows in the dark,
'cause it's iridescent.
Take it
with you...
...when you travel far.
Get
yourself a sweet Madonna...
...dressed in rhinestone sittin' on
...a pedestal of abalone shell.
Goin' 90, I
ain't scary...
...'cause I got the Virgin Mary...
...assurin' me...
...that I won't go to hell.
