Said 'I don't mean to shock ya,

But I'm gonna tell ya 'bout my chakra,

And about the accidental conception
The singer mentions an accidental creation or beginning of something.

Of the particle board for ya
This creation involves particle board, possibly a reference to the artist's profession or a significant event in their life.

She's punch drunk, abbreviated
Changing the subject, the lyrics describe a woman who appears dazed or intoxicated.

Outside the passenger window
This woman is outside of the singer's vehicle, and likely not known to them.

An open mouth in the form of a butterfly catching net
The woman's mouth resembles a butterfly net, seemingly poised to catch or trap something.

The stars see her cold black eyes
The stars are observing the woman's gaze, which is described as being dark and possibly emotionless.

Just above the belly of Texas

Going to put it in ya

Watch you foam at the mouth

And try and sing today

It's impossible to gauge the path

Of a reciprocal conversation
This is further emphasized, with the implication that the singer and the woman may not understand each other fully.

We'll just pass the exit to Bombay
The conversation takes an unexpected turn or detour.

First mile reminiscent of a flock of snow geese
The landscape or surroundings are described, evoking the imagery of birds in flight.

Landing on a glass pond
This imagery continues, with the birds landing on a seemingly fragile or artificial surface.

She says one last thing
Returning to the woman's original intent, she has one final statement to make.

Hey wait a minute, just one last thing
She pauses the conversation briefly to make this point.

Don't forget to pick the needle up off the lock groove
The woman reminds the artist to finish what they started or to be thorough in their actions.

Its impossible to gauge the belly of Texas!
Echoing a previous line, the lyrics again emphasize the difficulty or complexity of a situation involving Texas.

Conversation, butterfly catching net
The woman's strange appearance is emphasized again, including the idea of trapping or catching with speech.

Cold black eyes landing on a glass pond

Accidental conception
The beginning of something, possibly not planned or intended.

Abbreviated outside the passenger window
The woman is still located outside of the singer's vehicle, with no further information given about her.

She said one last thing

Yeah just one last thing
