Drapht - Mr. Germain lyrics
[Drapht - Mr. Germain lyrics]
Hey, can you tell me where Jacques Imo's is
Please,?
Oh yeah, that’s that down yonder just get out
On the, then you make a left, ah
Right at it's a big building you'll see it
Yeah, yeah a’ight, cool thanks
What a beautiful energy this place has
The other day a homeless man told me, "Hey
Stand tall hold your head high"
I was just walking down the street
Minding my business appears like a wizard
Kinda smells like a dead guy
For a second I felt he knew my inner self
Better than myself, so red around his mouth
It is wine, wine
A French blend before your time (Hey)
It was like he read my mind
"Hi, my name is Mr Germain
What a beautiful day"
I said, "It's night", he said, "You need
To get out of your head", yeah, he was right
I am stressed
Stressed I started feeling like death
He said, "You wouldn't know death if it sat
With you on a bench"
Then started tappin' a packet of cigarettes
I said, "That stuff'll kill you"
And he calmly interjects and says
"Not if you've already been forgotten"
And then the next thing I'd
Seemed to have lost him
They call me baby in New Orleans
You ain't safe upon these streets, baby
These streets ain’t sweet, baby
’Cause they will take your wings
Your clothes, your hat, your soul
Now riding through Holygrove this
Is beautiful New Orleans, baby
Living in New Orleans, baby
You can hear it in the thunder
If you listen when the sun goes down
You can hear it in the thunder
If you listen when the sun goes down
"Give me one second
Young man give me one second"
Walkin' down mystery to get to a street car
Hearin’, "Greetings Mr Reid
Shouldn't you really be asleep now?"
Police car screams around the corner
Ya, he says, "There's been a scene
Another bleedin' lamb up to the slaughter
But, I warned you not walk along
The street after night time (Why?)
Might get shocked like a key tied
Up to a kite line (Huh?)
What? You wonder what dying’s like?
(No) Wonder what the light's like? (No)
Like Stevie's eyesight? (No) Might just be
The bight like being on the
Other side of Tyson"
Then he switches and says, "What
A time to be alive, paul
Not the type of thing you take for granted
Oh, that's how you vanished, sleep walkin'
Livin' life in your pyjamas (Ayy)
Damn, it's such a waste of that bl bl
Bloody life that you've been given"
He stutteringly finishes
Police man doubles round the block (Ha ha ha)
He turned back around to say
Goodbye and then he's gone
They call me baby in New Orleans
You ain't safe upon these streets, baby
These streets ain't sweet, baby
'Cause they will take your wings
Your clothes, your hat, your soul
Now riding through Holygrove this
Is beautiful New Orleans, baby
Ha ha ha ha ha, New Orleans, baby
You can hear it in the thunder
If you listen when the sun goes down
You can hear it in the thunder
If you listen when the sun goes down
You can hear it in the thunder
You can hear it in the thunder
If you listen when the sun goes down
If you listen when the sun goes down
You can hear it in the thunder
If you listen when the sun goes down
Please,?
