Louisiana Land

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

And it's the long way down

Yeah, it's the long way down

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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)

[Verse 3]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

(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
