James Is The Message (Jamie 3:26 & Danou P Remix)

2am on Royal Street

Saints brim sitting low

Eyes are swimming in my skull

Everywhere I go

Out of the darkness

Man comes up to me

Hands me a piece of paper

Says that only I can see

Now I been drinking whiskey

Been dancing in the streets

Meeting up with my old friend

For last call at Lafitte's

Crawl on a barstool

Get my vision right

Take a peek of what that man

Done wrote to me tonight

(It said) James is the Message, James was all it said 3x

James Is the Message, now he's in my head.

Pondering this mystery

I sip my Sazerac

Then my friend comes stumbling in

And Whacks me on the back.

By now the room was buzzing

There were halos round the lights

He said "hey Ames"

I said "no James, it's JAMES we seek tonight!"

He looked at me like "what the funk"

So I showed him that weird note

He ordered up two shots of rye

And tossed them down my throat.

He said "James is the message?"

I think I got a clue.

Let's get while the getting's good

To St. Claude Avenue

 

Some red hot punk rock blues

I'm shaking in my shoes

I got nothing to lose

 

Wrecked and faded glory be

Wound up on Saturn's rings

Checkin' out the special men

and James the King of Kings

Part punk rock soul

Just enough rock and roll

One trip around the dance floor

and I knew that I was sold
