Alannah Myles Mistress Of Erzulie Lyrics

Mistress Of Erzulie Lyrics

Standing in the red light of a Bourbon Street French Quarter

Where I met a
Spanish Porter who obliged me with his grin

He asked me for my time, I said
I'd take a glass of wine

And in my altered state of mind I opened up, he
jumped right in



Oh, some things never turn out right

Oh, some
things never turn out right



Chorus:

Mister, Mistress, Mistress Of
Erzulie

Mister, Mistress, Mistress Of Erzulie



Verse II:

He
kissed me in the lobby on the way to Pat O'Briens

No, it didn't take much
science to discover what was next

W'suddenly a woman with a shrunken-headed
necklace

She made me feel so reckless, sexless in my innocence



Oh
some things never turn out right



Verse III:

She led me to the
levy, I was helpless as a lamb

"Don't you know who I am," she said, "Your
Nemesis is free"

I was wired like a weapon, I was dancin' like the
Dirvish

When I woke up feverishly looking down at
me



Chorus:

Mister, Mistress, Mistress Of
Erzulie

4X



Breakdown:

From the coveted Ark, To Noah in
Asia

Sodom and Gomorrah, the light and the dark

Chased by the demon to
the caves of the Burren

Imprisoned by the truth in the tales of the
Turrin

From original sin to original blame, for shame, for
shame



Oh some things never turn out
right

2X



Chorus:

Mister, Mistress, Mistress Of
Erzulie
