THE TRAGICALLY HIP New Orlean Is Sinking Lyrics

BOURBON BLUES ON THE STREET LOOSE AND COMPLETE
UNDER SKIES ALL SMOKEY BLUE-GREEN
I CAN'T FORSAKE A DIXIE DEAD-SHAKE
SO WE DANCE THE SIDEWALK CLEAN
MY MEMORY IS MUDDY WHAT'S THIS RIVER THAT I'M IN ?
NEW ORLEANS IS SINKING MAN AND I DON'T WANNA SWIM

COLONEL TOM WHAT'S WRONG ? WHAT'S GOING ON ?
YOU CAN'T TIE YOURSELF UP FOR A DEAL
HE SAID " HEY NORTH YOU'RE SOUTH SHUT YOUR BIG MOUTH
YOU GOTTA DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS REAL "
AIN'T GOT NO PICTURES POSTCARDS AIN'T GOT NO SOUVENIRS
MY BABY SHE DON'T KNOW ME WHEN I'M THINKING 'BOUT THOSE YEARS

- - - - - SOLO - - - - -

PALE AS A LIGHT BULB HANGING ON A WIRE
SUCKING UP TO SOMEONE JUST TO STOKE THE FIRE
PICKING OUT THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SCENERY
SAW A LITTLE CLOUD THAT LOOKED A LITTLE LIKE ME

I HAD MY HANDS IN THE RIVER
MY FEET BACK UP ON THE BANKS
LOOK UP TO THE LORD ABOVE
AND SAID " HEY MAN THANKS "
SOMETIMES I FEEL SO GOOD I GOTTA SCREAM
SHE SAID GORDIE BABY I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN
SHE SAID SHE SAID I SWEAR TO GOD SHE SAID

- AAAAHHHH! NO! - - NOOOOOOO! YEAH! -

MY MEMORY IS MUDDY WHAT'S THIS RIVER THAT I'M IN ?
NEW ORLEANS IS SINKING MAN AND I DON'T WANNA SWIM
