The Massacoustics — New Orleans lyrics

Lyrics

She was raised upon an island in the south Atlantic
Before she started school she taught herself the magic
Now there’s not a soul alive resistant to her spells
She thought she might as well try New Orleans
Suburban boy with not much left to lose, he was hopeless
Droppin' out of college made him choose the dope biz
Caught up in the politics of a little town cartel
He thought he could save himself in New Orleans
On and on it goes
Bourbon overflows
With people carrying on until morning
Oh, New Orleans
I once was making music for myself, so happy
‘Til I overheard somebody talk of wealth in the Big Easy
Now I recycle cover tunes for the posers and the Voodoo queens
We’re all just stuck, it seems, in New Orleans
On and on it goes
Bourbon overflows
With people carrying on until morning
Oh, New Orleans
On and on it goes
Bourbon overflows
With people carrying on until morning
Oh, New Orleans
On and on it goes
Bourbon overflows
With people carrying on until morning
Oh, New Orleans
Oh, New Orleans
Oh, New Orleans
Oh, New Orleans
