LYRICS:

airstream, poetry, New Orleans, the shape of ur mouth 
cafe cars, corner bars, back roads, we did the south 

And I told the elevator operator 
see u later, there’s a chance I’m not making it down  

the wind and the willows, cigarillos and chairman mao 
Yeah I took a big hit of the counterfeit, but I’m better now

I told the elevator operator 
see u later, there’s a chance I’m not making it down now 
And All you moon drifters, beware of grifters in their glitter there’s a chance that they’re taking you out (now)

And ah if it wasn’t so tragic, I’d tell u everything from start to finish 
But I’m afraid that it would lose its magic
That Slight of hand in the dreamland  
The city of Louisiana that felt like heaven, but everyone was still alive  

You said you were travellin and you put me in ur pocket
You said I tasted like summer, U could feel our pine forest bed 
You words played on repeat in my head, and It took me a while to get you out    

But then I’d get a letter with you still calling me baby 
There’s Pine needles in the parchment and you asking me if I was still searching
For the world that I believed 
and I’d write back not meaning to send 
how I was fixing settle down in some quiet southern town  

Now I know u were with him all the while 
I didn’t think corporate lawyers were your style

And I told the elevator operator
see u later, there’s a chance I’m not making it d-d-d-down 
And All you moon drifters, beware of grifters in their glitter, there’s a chance that they’re taking you out (aah)

So daisy don’t come, la la la, daisy don’t come to New Orleans 
daisy don’t come, la la la, daisy don’t come to New Orleans 
Daisy don’t come,  la la la      daisy don’t come to New Orleans 
Daisy don’t come ,,     ah daisy will you come? 

And ah if it wasn’t so tragic, I’d tell u everything from start to finish 
But I’m afraid that it would lose its magic
That Slight of hand in the dreamland  
The city of Louisiana that felt like heaven, but everyone was still alive
