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.

We have constructed pyramids in honour of our escaping.
This is the land where the Pharaoh died.

"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."
