Planet Of New Orleans
Standin' on the cornerOf Toulouse and DauphineWaitin' on Marie-OndineI'm tryin' to place a tuneUnder a Louisiana moonbeamOn the planet of New Orleans
In a bar they call The SaturnAnd in her eyes of greenAnd somethin' that she said in a dreamInside of my suit I got my mojo rootAnd a true love figurineFor the planet of New Orleans
New Orleans - the other planetWith other life upon itAnd everythin' that's shakin' in betweenIf you should ever land upon itYou better know what's on itThe planet of New Orleans
Now I'm tryin' to find my wayThrough the rain and the steamI'm lookin' straight ahead through the screenAnd then I heard her saySomethin' in the limousine'Bout takin' a ride across the planet of New Orleans
If she was an aceAnd I was just a jackAnd the cards were never seenWe could have been the king and queenBut she took me on back to her courtyardWhere magnolia perfume screamsBehind the gates and the graniteOf the planet of New Orleans
New Orleans - the other planetWith other life upon itAnd everythin' that's shakin' in betweenIf you should ever land upon itYou better know what's on itThe planet of New Orleans
With other life upon itAnd everythin' that's shakin' in betweenIf you should ever land upon itYou better know what's on itThe planet of New Orleans
