Standin' in the corner
|
Of toulouse and dauphine
|
Waitin' on marie-ondine
|
I'm tryin' to place a tune
|
Under a louisiana moonbeam
|
On the planet of New Orleans
|
In a bar they call the saturn
|
And in her eyes of green
|
And somethin' that she said in a dream
|
Inside of my suit I got my mojo root
|
And a true love figurine
|
For the planet of new orleans
|
|
|
New Orleans - the other planet
|
With other life upon it
|
And everythin' that's shakin' in between
|
If you should ever land upon it
|
You better know what's on it
|
The planet of New Orleans
|
|
|
Now I'm tryin' to find my way
|
Through the rain and the steam
|
I'm lookin' straight ahead through the screen
|
And then I heard her say
|
Somethin' in the limousine
|
'bout taking a ride across the planet of New Orleans
|
|
|
If she was an ace
|
And I was just a jack
|
And the cards were never seen
|
We could have been the king and the queen
|
But she took me back to her courtyard
|
Where magnolia perfume screams
|
Behind the gates and the granite
|
Of the planet of New Orleans
|
