TEXAS (it's all big)

Today of all days
I let Ra do the rowing
Now I'm cast on the shore
The moon's quarter showing
So the jukebox will play on
With fish pole and crayon
I’ll fall from the moon
While whistling a tune

Crayons I eat, just supply snacks
Fish in the lake help me relax
I muse that I am
A realistic guy
Or the king of Siam
Or the apple of I

Wild are the sevens
In the deck of the few
And look did you see
The borders are blue
Your hand is so wan
I don’t wanna be you
With cap I catch the angel tears
Wondering if the spirit's hear

I used all my silver
To paint the matte black
The white-wall radials remain
Of my g-ride you may ask
I point to the heavens
Wearing my “I told you” mask

I’d love to hold you
I’d love to be the fender
That wakes you up
Flying through
The stratosphere
You shed an angel tear

I see myself far from view
Tipping my cap to you

Wow - Walt, I found this piece to be very, um, "Waltesque".  You really have to stop eating those paint flakes, man.  Oh, and just to let you know, I let Ra do my rowing everyday - loved that line, btw.
