Texas are Scottish band fronted by singer Sharleen Spiteri. The band was founded by Johnny McElhone taking their name from the 1984 Wim Wenders movie Paris, Texas. Their musical sound went from blues rock from debut album Southside (1989), via blue eyed soul of White on Blonde (1997) to the disco pop of their most recent release Red Book (2005). Sharleen Spiteri (vocals, guitar), Ally McErlaine (guitar), Johnny McElhone (bass) have survived all line ups. In 1994, Ellen DeGeneres requested the use of the Texas track "So Called Friend" as the theme tune for her self-titled ABC Comedy Show.

Ticket to Lie Lyrics

Texas

Attention annoys me
Could disappoint me
So just take a walk
And try to avoid
The cars in the street now
They could knock you
So just take a bus
Theres a ticket in my hand
If you want
I dont know what you think
Tell me where you want to go
Take a breath when I ask you to
Just try
Close your eyes
Ill take you there
I could take you anywhere
Come fly
Yeah tell me what you want to do
I can make it up for you and lie
Laughter annoys me
Makes me feel sad
Yeah I love that bug
Can I have it back
Theres black all around me
Im lost in this crowd
Theres no coming back
Cause Im on my way down
Theres a ticket in my hand
I cant use it without you
So tell me where you want to go
Take a breath when I ask you to
Just try
Close your eyes
Ill take you there
I could take you anywhere
Come fly
Tell me where you want to go
Take a breath when I ask you to
Just try
Close your eyes
Ill take you there
I could take you anywhere
Come fly
Yeah tell me what you want to do
I can make it up for you and lie
So tell me where you want to go
I will put that ticket in your hand
