Miss Antoinette, she went out with a song |
|
Selling booze and silver shoes and singing right along |
|
Shotgun and a limousine while the baby dolls march on |
|
Miss Antoinette, she went out with a song |
|
And it's the long way down |
|
Yeah, it's the long way down |
|
Down at the |
|
Maple Leaf, they pack 'em in |
|
We all get sauced, turn down the house so we start all over again |
|
And tonight we'll all get reborn to a couple fifths of gin |
|
Here we go |
|
The rich boys get their money back |
|
When the banks go belly up |
|
But if you're downtown when the levees break |
|
Well, you're shit out of luck, shit out of luck |
|
And over at the place they train the gods |
|
With Stanton on the drums you don't need no one on guitar |
|
And sometimes all it takes is going way too far |
|
And it's the long way down |
|
Yeah, it's the long way down |
|
Aw, it's the long way down |
|
A long way down |
|
And all the rich boys get their money back |
|
When the banks go belly up |
|
But if you're downtown when the levees break |
|
Well, you're shit out of luck |
|
The penthouse paupers need your help |
|
So everybody lend a hand |
|
And maybe they'll get you a real sweet price |
|
On the Louisiana land, alright |
|
Now Christ down on the street with his trombone |
|
And even though the 12 year olds have got it in their bones |
|
Above these 20 blocks no one's alone |
|
And the rich boys get their money back |
|
When the banks go belly up |
|
But if you're downtown when the levees break |
|
Then you're shit out of luck |
|
The penthouse paupers need your help |
|
So everybody lend a hand |
|
And maybe they'll get you a real sweet price |
|
On the Louisiana land |
|
It's the long way down(Louisiana land) |
|
It's the long way down(Louisiana land) |
|
It's the long way down(Louisiana land) |
|
It's the long way down(Louisiana land) |
|
Shit out of luck |
