Tragically Hip - New Orleans Is Sinking lyrics

Boubon blues on the street Loose and complete the sky so smokey blue, green I can't forsake a dixie-dead shake So we danced the sidewalk clean My memory is muddy What's this river i'm staniding 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 souvenires My baby, she don't know me When I'm thinking about those years Pale as a light bulb Hanging on a wire s**ing up to someone Just to stoke the fire Picking out the headlights 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 I'm in? New Orleans is sinking man And i don't wanna swim
