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
4X
