Louisiana Land

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 **** out of luck, **** 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 **** 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 year 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 **** 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

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(Louisiana land)

**** out of luck
