Planet Of New Orleans

Standin' on the corner
Of toulouse and dauphine
Waitin' on marie-ondine
I'm 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 somthih' 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' that's shakin' in between
If you should ever land upon it
You better know what's on it
The planet of new orleans

Now I'm trying' to find my way
Through the rain and the steam
I'm lookin' stright ahead through the screen
And then I heard her say
Somethin' in the limousine
'bout takin' a ride across the planet of new orleans
