New Orleans, with other life upon it
Where magnolia perfume screams
New Orleans, with other life upon it
The planet of the New Orleans
Through the rain and the steam
Under a Louisiana moonbeam
If you should ever land upon it
And everythin' that's shakin' in between
And somethin' that she said in a dream
In a bar they call the Saturn
The planet of the New Orleans
We could have been the king and the queen
You better know what's on it
If she was an ace and I was just a jack
And a true love figurine
If you should ever land upon it
On the planet of New Orleans
The planet of the New Orleans
Waitin' on Marie-Ondine
And the cards were never seen
If you should ever land upon it
I'm lookin' straight ahead through the screen
You better know what's on it
Inside of my suit I got my mojo root
I'm tryin' to place a tune
For the planet of the New Orleans
Somethin' in the limousine
And in her eyes of green
And everythin' that's shakin' in between
Behind the gates and the granite
You better know what's on it
And everythin' that's shakin' in between
Now I'm tryin' to find my way
But she took me back to her courtyard
With other life upon it
Of the planet of the New Orleans
'Bout takin' a ride across the planet of the New Orleans
And then I heard her say
