"New Orleans Blues" by Taylor Hollingsworth (BMI 2009)
White light talker, Red light walker
Doin' flips on the city sidewalks
He can tell you where you got your boots for 5 bucks
There's a church to sleep without a peep from the pews
New Orleans Blues
I'm doin' all I can this weekend
Including all I don't believe in
I hold my beads up high for you to see them
Watch the Skeletons shake from wormwood dance floors
Hold allegiance with voodoo mood rings
Hand Grenades chase Irish Car Bombs
Sing the chorus loud from Toulouse
New Orleans Blues
I'm doin' all I can this weekend
Including all I don't believe in
I hold my beads up high for you to see them
To stand in fire, is hell to breath in
The Devil mimes and noone sees him
Water broke, A city reborn
Got mojo hands, if yours are all torn
Every River leads to an Ocean
So build a raft like little Huck Finn
There's a man with a knife fill your pipe for a bargain
Once you speak the same tongue it's ok to misuse
New Orleans Blues
I'm doing all I can this weekend
Including all I don't believe in
I hold my beads up high for you to see them
