Tragically Hip, The - New Orleans Is Sinking слова песни
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 wanna 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
sucking up to someone just to stoke the fire
picking out the highlights of the scenery
saw a little cloud that 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 gotta scream
she said Gordie baby I know exactly what you mean
she said, she said, I swear to God she said...
My memory is muddy. what`s this river that I`m in?
New Orleans is sinking man and I don`t wanna swim
