4miDDle - New Orleans Is Sinking Lyrics

All right


Bourbon blues on the street, loose and complete
Under skies all smoky blue green
I can't forsake a dixie dead shake
So we danced the sidewalk clean
My memory is muddy what's this river that I'm in?
New Orleans is sinking man and I don't want to swim


Colonel Tom, what's wrong? What's going on?
You can't tie yourself up for a deal
He said hey north, you're south, shut your big mouth
You gotta' do what you feel is real
Ain't got no picture postcards, ain't got no souvenirs
My baby she don't know me when I'm thinking 'bout those years


Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire
Suckin' up to someone just to stoke the fire
Pickin' out the highlights of the scenery
Saw a little cloud looked a little like me


I had my hands in the river, my feet back up on the banks
Looked up to the lord above and said hey man thanks
Sometimes I feel so good I got to scream
She said Gordie baby I know exactly what you mean
She said, she said, I swear to god she said


Ha No
No Yeah!


My memory is muddy what's this river that I'm in?
New Orleans is sinking man and I don't want to swim


Swim!
