Didn’t we have a devil of a time? Stranger stumble into town, talkin’ turnin’ tables ‘round Didn’t we have a devil of a time?
We shot and slammed the glasses upside down I was the last one to take a mask But the first one to strike a match Shot and slammed the glasses upside down
Didn’t I paint a face on the sleeping guard? Convention sleeps when the sun goes down So copper, try and catch me now Didn’t I paint a face on the sleeping guard?
Well, the silent sirens wait in the alleyways ‘Til the stone of order’s cracked in two Wake and spin the red and blue Silent sirens wait in the alleyways
For the moon is under water of the carnival canals Gotta rattle fragile borders For what’s a city with no underground?
To wander through a Venetian maze When I never marched the streets of New Orleans But the devil’s brew I drank tonight Tomorrow have me exorcised And tighten up my necktie once again
Crown me the Merry Lord of Misrule With my cracked mask, lei, hangover, and a ragged suit Well at curbside, I crept from sleep Some stranger left behind his reeds Crown me the Merry Lord of Misrule
Didn’t we have a devil of a time? They say, “Who’s this drunkard stumbling down In rags, with palm ash on his brow Singin’, ‘Didn’t we have a devil of a time?’”Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
