by Gabriel Miranda
Oh, take me down to New Orleans
To live life to the beat
Sing my blues in purples and greens
Get lost in strangers’ sheets
I’ll swing up on the chandelier
Come shower me in beads
Forget about a sad career
And learn to live life freed
I want to feel vibrant and full
Glow in the summer heat
Joy of the heart and warmth of soul
Shit-faced on Bourbon street
Lose me there, in ol’ New Orleans
For I would love to die alive
Cast me in to the fantasy
Of the chaotic and sublime
