Planet Of New Orleans |
| Standin on the corner |
| Of toulouse and dauphine |
| Waitin on marie-ondine |
| Im tryin to place a tune |
| Under a louisiana moonbeam |
| On the planet of new orleans |
| In a bar they call the saturn |
| And in her eyes of green |
| And somethin that she said in a dream |
| Inside of my suit I got my mojo root |
| And a true love figurine |
| For the planet of new orleans |
| New orleans — the other planet |
| With other life upon it And everythin thats shakin in between |
| If you should ever land upon it You better know whats on it The planet of new orleans |
| Now Im tryin to find my way |
| Through the rain and the steam |
| Im lookin straight ahead through the screen |
| And then I heard her say |
| Somethin in the limousine |
| bout takin a ride across the planet of new orleans |
| If she was an ace |
| And I was just a jack |
| And the cards were never seen |
| We could have been the king and queen |
| But she took me back to her courtyard |
| Where magnolia perfume screams |
| Behind the gates and the granite |
| Of the planet of new orleans |
