OK Go - Louisiana Land lyrics
[OK Go - Louisiana Land lyrics]
Miss Antoinette, she went out with a song
Selling booze and silver shoes
And singing right along
Shotgun and a limousine
While the baby dolls march on
Miss Antoinette, she went out with a song
And, it's the long way down
Yeah, it's the long way down
Down at the Maple Leaf, they pack 'em in
We all get sauced, turn down the house
So we start all over again and tonight
We'll all get reborn to a
Couple fifths of gin here we go
The rich boys get their money back
When the banks go belly up
But if you're downtown when the levees break
Well, you're shit out of luck
(shit out of luck)
And over at the place, they train the gods
With Stanton on the drums
You don't need no one on guitar
And sometimes
All it takes is going way too far
And, it's the long way down
Yeah, it's the long way down
Aw, it's the long way down a long way down
And all the rich boys get their money back
When the banks go belly up
But, if you're downtown when the levees break
Well, you're shit out of luck
The penthouse paupers need your help
So everybody lend a hand
And maybe they'll get you a real, sweet price
On the Louisiana land, alright
Now, Christ down on the
Street with his trombone
And even though the 12 years olds
Have got it in their bones
Above these 20 blocks, no one's alone
And the rich boys get their money back
When the banks go belly up
But, if you're downtown when the levees break
Then, you're shit out of luck
The penthouse paupers need your help
So everybody lend a hand
And maybe they'll get you a real, sweet price
On the Louisiana land, alright
(Louisiana land) It's the long way down
(Louisiana land) It's the long way down
(Louisiana land) It's the long way down
(Louisiana land) It's the long way down
Shit out of luck
Selling booze and silver shoes
And singing right along
Shotgun and a limousine
While the baby dolls march on
Miss Antoinette, she went out with a song
And, it's the long way down
Yeah, it's the long way down
Down at the Maple Leaf, they pack 'em in
We all get sauced, turn down the house
So we start all over again and tonight
We'll all get reborn to a
Couple fifths of gin here we go
The rich boys get their money back
When the banks go belly up
But if you're downtown when the levees break
Well, you're shit out of luck
