Texas /ˈtɛksəs/ (Spanish: Texas or Tejas [ˈtexas]) is a state in the United States of America. It is the second most populous and second largest state by area in the US. Geographically located in the south central part of the country, Texas shares an international border with Mexico to the south and borders the states of New Mexico to the west, Oklahoma to the north, Arkansas to the northeast, and Louisiana to the east. Texas has an area of 268,820 square miles (696,200 km2) and a growing population of over 27.5 million residents (July 2015).
Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth-largest in the United States, while San Antonio is the second largest in the state and seventh largest in the United States. Dallas–Fort Worth and Greater Houston are the fourth and fifth largest United States metropolitan statistical areas, respectively. Other major cities include Austin (the state capital) and El Paso. Texas is nicknamed the Lone Star State to signify Texas as a former independent republic, and as a reminder of the state's struggle for independence from Mexico. The "Lone Star" can be found on the Texan state flag and on the Texan state seal. The origin of the state name, Texas, is from the word, "Tejas", which means 'friends' in the Caddo language.
Texas is a state of the United States of America, formerly the Republic of Texas.

Bright light city
You're her religion
Superstars in their own private movie
Play just like children
Lies that take her
Places she's never seen
The kiss and tell of it all
To her seems so obsene
She's so pretty her hair is a mess
We all love her
To that we confess
* She has a halo
We really do adore her
For she has a halo
Can we touch her
For her blindness she sees much further
Like on a wide screen viewing going down on her
She's so pretty her hair is a mess
We all love her
To that we confess
(* Repeat)
She believes in everything
And she believes in nothing in everything
(* Repeat)
She believes in everything
And she believes in nothing in everything
She believes in everything
And she believes in nothing
She has a halo
