Jimmy Buffett - Wheel Inside the Wheel lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - Wheel Inside the Wheel lyrics]
The parade of souls is
Marching across the sky
Their heat and their light bathed in
Blue as they march by
The all stars play "When the
Saints Go Marching In"
A second line forms and they wave
White hankies in the wind
Satchmo takes a solo
And he flashes his million dollar smile
Marie Laveau promenades with Oscar Wilde
Big Funky Stella twirls her little
Red umbrella to the beat
As the soul parade winds it's
Way down Eternity Street
Souls ain't born, souls don't die
Soul ain't made of earth
Ain't made of water, ain't made of sky
So ride the flaming circle
Wind the golden reel and roll on, brother
In the wheel inside the wheel
Mardi Gras Indians chant in
The streets at sundown spyboy meets Spyboy
And Big Chief meets Big Chief uptown
They circle and sway in their
Rainbow-colored feathers and beads
They prance like peacocks
Children of slavery freed
Souls ain't born, souls don't die
Soul ain't made of earth
Ain't made of water, ain't made of sky
Ride the flaming circle, wind the golden reel
Roll on, brother
In the wheel inside the wheel
The Krewe of the Crossbones parades
In the midnight sun
They march through fire and come
Out beating homemade drums
While the French quarter queens in
Their high heeled drag disguise
Sing "Over the Rainbow" 'til Judy
Garland quivers and sighs
Souls ain't born, souls don't die
Soul ain't made of earth
Ain't made of water, ain't made of sky
Ride the flaming circle, wind the golden reel
And roll on, brother
In the wheel inside the wheel
Flambeau dancers light the walkway
To Jean Pierre's
There's a party there tonight
All the girls are gonna be there
Sippin' wormwood concoctions
Drinking absinthe and talkin' trash
It's a red carpet, black tie
All night celestial bash
Souls ain't born, souls don't die
Soul ain't made of earth
Ain't made of water, ain't made of sky
Ride the flaming circle, wind the golden reel
And roll on, brother
In the wheel inside the wheel
I said roll on, brother
In the wheel inside the wheel
Yeah, roll on, brother
In the wheel inside the wheel
Marching across the sky
Their heat and their light bathed in
Blue as they march by
The all stars play "When the
Saints Go Marching In"
A second line forms and they wave
White hankies in the wind
Satchmo takes a solo
And he flashes his million dollar smile
Marie Laveau promenades with Oscar Wilde
Big Funky Stella twirls her little
Red umbrella to the beat
As the soul parade winds it's
Way down Eternity Street
Souls ain't born, souls don't die
Soul ain't made of earth
Ain't made of water, ain't made of sky
So ride the flaming circle
Wind the golden reel and roll on, brother
In the wheel inside the wheel
Mardi Gras Indians chant in
The streets at sundown spyboy meets Spyboy
And Big Chief meets Big Chief uptown
They circle and sway in their
Rainbow-colored feathers and beads
They prance like peacocks
Children of slavery freed
Souls ain't born, souls don't die
Soul ain't made of earth
Ain't made of water, ain't made of sky
Ride the flaming circle, wind the golden reel
Roll on, brother
