(written by Brian Ferry and Phil Manzanera and first released by Roxy Music)



Texas Oh that's where I

Belong

It seems to me



Lonesome star

Shine on

The big country



With open skies

And you

For company



Oh prairie rose

How happy

I should be



Hey hey You can take it from me

Hey hey I'll be calling, you'll see

Hey hey Oh what a state to be in

Hey hey You're tantalizing me



Texas I will compose

In fancy rhyme

Or just plain prose



A song of praise

To you

My prairie rose



Though I'm not sure

I can explain

Your strange allure



Oh prairie rose -

A crown of thorns

A scented flower



Hey hey You can take it from me

Hey hey I'll be calling, you'll see

Hey hey I'd better leave right away

Hey hey I can hear you calling me



Hey hey Prairie rose (3 times)



Hey hey

I hear your voice

And it keeps me

From sleeping

Prairie rose



Hey hey Prairie rose (five times, fading out)
