Lyrics

i'll be there directly

streets of new orleans

shoulder to shoulder beauty and beast
side by side famine and feast
drawn to the quarter to find release
streets of new orleans
streets of new orleans
 
streets of new orleans are sticky like glue
gets in the cracks of the sole of your shoe
starts rising upward till it's part of you
streets of new orleans.....
 
how they dance promenade the street
how they parade and pound out the beat
brass band roars like elephants in heat
streets of new orleans.....
 
sugar daddy jones got the magic touch
got into bad habits cause it hurt so much
could not go on without his crutch
streets of new orleans.....
 
cher amelie
c'est amelie
je t'aime beaucoup
je t'aime aussi
you make it easy you make it true
cher amelie
c'est amelie
je t'aime beaucoup
je t'aime aussi
you make it easy you make it true
cher amelie
c'est amelie
je t'aime beaucoup
je t'aime aussi
cher amelie
c'est amelie
you make it easy
cher amelie
c'est amelie
you make it true

a feathered mask a painted face
i feel desire melting space
mass euphoria in its place
streets of new orleans.....
 
why drink water when i have wine
why give the reaper any more time
why drink yours when i can drink mine
streets of new orleans.....
 
sun rises up behind algiers
to make the black so blue
