New Orleans

Wake up I run up to the window She's standing on the corner Motions me to follow I see her in her red shirt I slip out of the front door And she starts up her car She drives We're heading for the city That's swimming in her bloodstream That's pulsing in her heartbeat I feel it washing over her As she turns onto Canal Street She's wide awake again Oooooooooooooooo yeah She swears it's in the air You just have to believe Oooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Yes she comes alive down in New Orleans We're running by the river This city lights' ablazing She looks like she could fly off Like gravity is failing Somewhere in the distance A marching band is playing She's wide awake again Oooooooooooooooo yeah She swears it's in the air You just have to believe Oooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Yes she comes alive down in New Orleans Oh and there's something in her eyes that I've never seen When she says to me, I'm wide awake again Oooooooooooooooo yeah There's magic in the night down in New Orleans Take me down to the water Take me down to the water of New Orleans (Take me down to the water) No I've never had it figured out (Take me down to the water of New Orleans) Just a maze I never know (Take me down to the water) But suddenly it's making sense (Take me down to the water of New Orleans) When she shows me all The roses in the sidewalks Like angels at her feet And they're breaking through the pavement To light her way through New Orleans Ohhhhhh oh through New Orleans Oooooooooooooooo yeah She swears it's in the air You just have to believe (You just have to believe) Oooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Yes she comes alive down in New Orleans Oh and there's something in her eyes that I've never seen When she says to me, I'm wide awake again Oooooooooooooooo yeah There's magic in the night down in New Orleans Take me down to the water Take me down to the water of New Orleans Take me down to the water Take me down to the water of New Orleans
