Take me down The leaves grow upside down Where the breathe leaves a puff The drinks soothe me And my scattering mind is at ease
Down in New Orleans The ghosts and queens of spirits that fill the shadow Stand by and you will see: swamplands where the spirits will rise
Listen as the willow weeps its blues on to your shoulder The humidity sweat drips on your head as a droplet of chaos The buzzing as a shock in silence of noise to distract the pain
Noise fills the empty caves and hollow trunks hold the empty souls Behind your head is a dancing spirit One drinking Another dancing Another smoking Many partying
Many suffering Unreleased from ties and pain The pain many are tied to down in New Orleans
