The Happy Talk Band - Ash Wednesday lyrics
Gunshots down on Franklin 11:45 Two boys from the Lower Ninth the coroner arrives There's a blind man reading tarot cards over there in Jackson Square he says the future is uncertain but he don't really care And this city is my sweetheart but I am truly torn she loves me through the evening and then she stabs me in the morning I saw Lucious down on Frenchmen he says he's moving back he wears a long sleeve gingham dress shirt to cover up his happy tracks And there's a drunkard on the levee he watched the frighters rolling by and said "I shall be a captain then and take this river for my bride" Come wednesday there's no ashes yeah, we all forgot to pray mothers lose there children here and children lose there way It's raining down on Montegut I found a letter that's six years old my mother writes she misses me and she's worried about my immortal soul Grandma isn't feeling well but the weather's sure nice out west she hopes that I don't drink too much and Papa sends his very best Everyone is drowning here Everyone is free God protects these fools who build there homes below the sea |
