I used to wake up every morning saying I must be getting away with something here | |
Every day was like parole before the levees overflowed; I refuse to think it could all just disappear (I refuse to think) | |
How long before the street car rattles down St. Charles Avenue and beads swing from two hundred year old trees | |
How long before they walk down long Lake Pontratrain with the smell of just magnolia on the breeze | |
Yeah I've seen people laughing all the way down to the cemeteries just to send another soul off on its way | |
Yeah I've seen them dance right up to the edge of it | |
But this time their gonna dance back from the grave | |
Dance back | |
Dance back | |
Dance back | |
Dance back from the grave | |
Well a thousand souls crossed over and they were greeted by an all-star band | |
And while the saints go marching in there's still hell to pay back down in Dixie Land | |
Yeah the storms are headed south again and the hour's getting pretty late | |
Somebody better build that levee its already Mardi Gras at heavens gate (yeah) | |
Dance back | |
Dance back | |
Dance back | |
Dance back from the grave | |
Dance back | |
Dance back | |
Get your tambourines, slide trombones | |
And dance back from the grave | |
Oh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah | |
So don't shed a tear for them tonight as they circle and swoop and promenade | |
They're just carrying their torches and marching in a heavenly parade | |
No don't shed a tear but take their cue there's only one thing left to do in the name of every soul we didn't save | |
From the ninth ward to the quarter to the Mississippi border dance back from the grave | |
Dance back | |
Dance back | |
Dance back | |
Dance back from the grave | |
Dance back | |
Dance back | |
Get your tambourines, slide trombones | |
And dance back from the grave | |
Oh yeah, oh yeah | |
Get your tambourines, slide trombones | |
And dance back from the grave |
