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

LYRICS:
Uh huh hey ya
Here we go
Leave it on the back burner take it to the dry town
Ya here we go
I got the mean time slipping down the slide some uptight right wing political homicide
Do what you want take what you will
Take it in like a southpaw flip it on the grill
Bourgeoisie protocol
Bottoms up boys this is the last call
Happy hour doesn't last too long you know it never does
So I sit here on a bar stool looking at the sky
Got a buck and a quarter and a bucket full or rye
Don't step out of line you'll get time in the brig
Don't yield to the mighty you got your own dirt to dig
Leave it on the back burner take it to the dry town
Ya here we go
Me and my flea bag friends we ran to have our own feast of Crispian
Murphy was there with number twenty-two they were got caught in the middle of a coup
You will lose me if I don't lose you
And I will lose me if I don’t lose you
So we haven't chosen anyone of you to condemn
So make your decision and choose your side or let us begin
Steeped in knowledge I'll step from the board
Down to the speak easy with my double-edged sword
You know the deal ya got to spin the wheel
I heard the heavens are full of sevens
And as matter of fact you know that cat suicide jack
He don't play like that
Truth is he don't really play at all
Leave it on the back burner take it to the dry town
Ya here we go
