TEXAS (it's all big)

Attractive dawn arises
Sexy night disguises
Somewhere in the dreams I’ve lost
A day of life’s surprises

A child cannot refuse
To grow up lest he lose
All the many pairs he’ll wear
Of someone else’s shoes

I simply want to blend
My oddness without end
In seas of eccentricity
Where I know that I’ll fit in

White-collar blue collar
Some unwritten code
That I cannot wear tie-dyes
And recite poetry in the road

Goodnight queer suburb
Take the trash out to the curb
Where I’ll sit and think of these
Most disturbing words

Cold hands means a warm heart

"A child cannot refuse

This stanza hit me like a ton of feathers.  I read it and thought,"that means something"  

aaagh unfortunately for me, it's too late to really look into it. Good job
