Prairie Rose Lyrics

------------
(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)
