I took I Ten east
From El Paso
Then I turned south at Van Horn
I had never been
To West Texas
But I bless the day I was born
Just to see that sky at night
Far from all the city lights
I pulled over near Alpine
Where the air's cool and thin
I climbed on top of my car
Took a breath and dove in

Swimming in a lake of stars
Out beyond the moon and mars
Into the deepest blue
Gliding through the galaxies
Andromeda and Pleiades
Floating easy as you please
Back to this world of ours
Swimming in a lake of stars

I looked into the eyes
Of Orion
And saw mysterious things
Didn't turn around til morning
When I touched Pegasus' wings
Just before the light of day
My hair was full of Milky Way
My skin seemed to shimmer
With a silvery light
I know that all of my days
I will remember that night

Swimming so light
Swimming so easy
Aquarius above
and Pisces beneath me
I floated back to Earth
Like the mortal I am
But damn
West Texas isn't kidding around
