The Doors - Texas Radio & The Big Beat lyrics

I wanna tell you 'bout 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 it's brilliance
Others, mean and rueful of the western dream
I love the friends I have gathered
Together on this thin raft
We've constructed pyramids in honor
Of our escaping
For this is the land where the Pharaoh die

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
