Texas overture


Wild flowers and gravel pit towers

Pecan smoke two meat barbecue

Shotgun shack by the roadside...

Blacktop Texas is everything it will be

Loop road tornados, hand grown tomatoes

Post Office Lady, Flatonia Next Right

Two horses nodding at a leafless tree

Waiting in vain to be taken from the rain

The Black Sky crow is walking on the road

Walking on the road

Pine Forest Cablevision

Apartment Now Leasing

Pop-a-Top Beverage & Bait Barn

Fireworks - Buy One Get Five Free

Texas is the land of the free

Kreuz's is the king on the Lockhart rail line

A hall full of trestle tables

Fat soaked butcher paper

Beans sauerkraut soda pop beer

Rough paper hand towels in a roll on a stick sitting

Upright on every table in the joint

Water fountain bags of chips german 'tata salad

Jalapenos in a brown bowl

The fires in the pit have never been put out

An old Texas lady slicing beef brisket

faded floral print dress covered by an apron

Is that enough? she says

She knows

No, I say, more please

Butcher paper one knife no fork white bread

Vegetarians exit now please

Texas is the land of the free

No Teeth Barbecue, Rockdale, Texas

The man in the window watches crop dusters next door

If I lived in Hutto I'd nearly be home now,

Out among the farm roads,

Heading for the county line,

Looking for the water towers, bringing in the sheaves

Texas is the land of the free

Thelma's in Houston is closed on Sunday

The best catfish in all the state of Texas

The meat's pulled from the pit at the stroke of noon

The line grows long in a shack in an urban field

Sitting in the shadows of the chrome

Man in a big hat born into a black suit says,

Pass a menu if you would please

One slab of ribs, one pound any Meat

Whole chicken 1/2 chicken ham ribs links beef

Green beans pinto beans tata salad cole slaw

Okra dirty rice or yams

Two slices white bread sealed in a Ziploc

Peach sweet potato apple/lemon chocolate butter pie

Cheese peppers soda or tea

Texas is the land of the free

Salt Lick in Driftwood is no beer family style

3 meat platter bowl of beans slaw tata salad

Onions pickles two slices white bread Texas style

Order in order out order online

Order by mail fax toll free anytime

The waitress is a middle age ex-hippie chick

Who's found her a life in a hill country family schtick

Honey you will not leave eating only that much

Bottomless refills more meat more beans whole lotta slaw please

Texas is the land of the free.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Pere Ubu is an American experimental rock band formed in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1975. Founded by vocalist David Thomas and guitarist Peter Laughner, the group underwent several lineup changes that included Allen Ravenstine, Scott Krauss (drums) and Tony Maimone (bass). Laughner left the band in 1976 to be replaced by Tom Herman. Pere Ubu is known for their experimental and provocative sound that blends elements of rock, punk, avant-garde and noise. Their music is characterized by dark and surreal lyrics, often inspired by American pop culture and exploitation cinema. Some of their most representative songs include "Street Waves", "Final Solution" and "Non-Alignment Pact". Their debut album, "The Modern Dance", released in 1978, is considered a post-punk classic. Pere Ubu has continued to record and perform to this day, maintaining a loyal fan base thanks to their innovative music and David Thomas' charisma.
