New Orleans
PARACHUTE · Wide Awake 2016 · Track 07 of 12
Wake up I run up to the window She's standing on the corner And motions me to follow I see her in her red shoes I slip out of the front door And she starts up her car
She drives We're heading for the city That's swimming in her bloodstream That's pulsing in her heartbeat I feel it washing over her As she turns onto Canal street She's wide awake again
Ooooh ya She swears it's in the air, you just have to believe Ooooh, Ooooh Yes, she comes alive down in New Orleans
We're runnin' by the river The city lights are blazing She looks like she could fly off Like gravity is failing Somewhere in the distance A marching band is playing She's wide awake again
Ooooh ya She swears it's in the air, you just have to believe Ooooh, Ooooh Yes, she comes alive down in New Orleans
Oh, and something in her eyes that I've never seen When she says to me "I'm wide awake again" Ooooh ya There's magic in the night down in New Orleans
Take me down to the water Take me down to the water (New Orleans) Take me down to the water
No I've never had it figured out Just a maze I've never known And suddenly it's making sense When she shows me all The roses in the sidewalks Like angels at her feet And they're breaking through the pavement To light her away through New Orleans Oh, through New Orleans
Ooooh ya She swears it's in the air, you just have to believe Ooooh, Ooooh Yes, she comes alive down in New Orleans And oh, it's something in her eyes that I've never seen When she says to me "I'm wide awake again" Ooooh ya There's magic in the night down in New Orleans
Take me down to the water Take me down to the water (New Orleans) Take me down to the water Take me down to the water Take me down to the water (New Orleans)
