texas tea (the jakes/young the giant)

ie. got somewhat famous as the jakes, changed their name to young the giant after a poem. or something.

I’m waiting for the sun to rise
So I can find my way back to Texas
But, oh, it’s still dark outside
‘Cuz I can taste the fire on my lips

And so I say to lord I’m so tired of this mess but
this nation still burns at night
Our ribs the coal of progress

So hey, get away from here, old ghost
We don’t like your kind, soldier
Defend this land and fight!

The fields of corn they turn to dust
Said the cross-eyed boy from Pawnee
The old machines are laid to rest
New England stars, they’re lovely

And so I say to him, boy, have you seen men in these parts
Hey hey yeah yeah
Black gold swims under the dirt

So hey, get away from here, old ghost
We don’t like your kind, soldier
Defend this land and fight!

Oh oh oh…

Hey hey yeah yeah!…
