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