Dire Straits - The Planet Of New Orleans

The Planet Of New Orleans

Sta ndin in the corner
Of toulouse a nd da uphine
Wa itin on ma rie-ondine
Imtryin to pla ce a tune
Under a louisia na moonbea m
On the pla net of New Orlea ns
In a ba r they ca ll the sa turn
And in her eyes of green
And somethin tha t she sa id in a drea m
Inside of my suit I got my mojo root
And a true love figurine
For the pla net of new orlea ns
New Orlea ns - the other pla net
With other life upon it
And everythin tha ts sha kin in between
If you should ever la nd upon it
You better know wha ts on it
The pla net of New Orlea ns
Now Imtryin to find my wa y
Through the ra in a nd the stea m
Imlookin stra ight a hea d through the screen
And then I hea rd her sa y
Somethin in the limousine
bout ta king a ride a cross the pla net of New Orlea ns
If she wa s a n a ce
And I wa s just a ja ck
And the ca rds were never seen
We could ha ve been the king a nd the queen
But she took me ba ck to her courtya rd
Where ma gnolia perfume screa ms
Behind the ga tes a nd the gra nite
Of the pla net of New Orlea ns
