Dire Straits – Planet to New Orleans Lyric

Stadin' on the corner
Ot Toulouse and Douphine
Waitin' on Marie-Ondine
I'm trying to place a tune
Under a Lousiana moonbeam
On the planet of New Orleans

In a bar they call the saturn
And in her eyes of green
And somethin' that she said in a dream
Inside of my suit I got my mojo root
And a true love figurine
For the planet of New Orleans

New Orleans - the other planet
With other life upon it
And everythin' that's shakin' in between
If you should ever land upon it
You better know what's on it
The planet of New Orleans

Now I'm tryin' to find my way
Through the rain and the steam
I'm looking straight ahead through the screen
And then I heard her say
Somethin' in the limousine
'bout talkin' a ride across the planet of New Orleans

If she was an ace
And I was just a jack
And the cards were never seen
We could have been the king and queen
But she took me back to her courtyard
Where magnolia perfume screams
Behind the gates and the granite
Of the planet of New Orleans
