Planet Of New Orleans

Standing on the corner

Of Toulouse and Dauphine

Waiting on Marie-Ondine

I'm trying to place a tune under Louisiana moonbeam

On the planet of New Orleans

In a bar they call The Saturn

And in her eyes of green

And something 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

With other life upon it

And everything that's shaking in between

If you should ever land upon it

You better know what's on it

The planet of New Orleans

Now I'm trying to find my way

Through the rain and the steam

I'm looking straight ahead through the screen

And then I heard her say

Something in the limousine

'Bout takin 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 on back to her courtyard

Where magnolia perfume screams

Behind the gates and the granite

Of the planet of New Orleans

New Orleans

With other life upon it

And everything that's shaking in between

If you should ever land upon it

Well, you better know what's on it

The planet of New Orleans

With other life upon it

And everything that's shaking in between

If you should ever land upon it

You better know what's on it

The planet of New Orleans

The planet of New Orleans
