Down on the levee
Way down in New Orleans
On the banks of the river
Where the water and the sky meet
Dancin with devils
Dancing with angels
Dancing Rebels
And legends of old
In the heart of the quarter
Where the paintings cover the streets
And the deepest pain of the city speaks
Looking for liberation
We found truth
We found liberation
We had the sensation of being alive
Then we found
The rhythm of the night
All dancing purely for the need
To get down
Down with the city yeah
Blood orange
And midnight blue
Don't be afraid
Where the night takes you
Dancing with gypsies
Dancing with the police
Dancing with the city
Yeah she tells me
Well you are
So much greater than your fears
We're all just kids here
Looking for liberation
Something to awaken our souls
Oh something we can hold
In our hearts
And truly be alive
We found truth
We found liberation
We had the sensation of being alive
Then we found
The rhythm of the night
All dancing purely for the need
To get down
Down with the city yeah
