"LOUISIANA DAYS, LOUISIANA NIGHTS"
Louisiana days, Louisiana nights
Rivers of dreams under ever-changing light
Sky of huge billows and blue
Catches sudden, cool breeze
Turns dark as Goya's Giant steps,
And brows of Hoodoos,
Cracks like Alligator's
Tail on doors of dungeons
Thunder and lightning shoot to the plain
Lightning and rain shoot to the plan
And the porch-sitters' opera
Plays on again,
Another morning to dawn
And the porch-sitters' opera
Plays on again,
Another morning to dawn
Louisiana days, Louisiana nights
Rivers of dreams under ever-changing light
And the beats in this place,
Never let up--they never stop
You heard me--Yeah, you're right--
Yeah, you're right--You heard me--
The beats that put Funk in Hip-Hop
Skips in two-step,
Swings in Swamp Pop
Leading left to right, right to left
The beats in branches
And in stones that haunt
Never let up--they never stop
You heard me--Yeah, you're right
Freedom here
Freedom here be like nowhere
Freedom here be like nowhere else
Yeah, you're right--You heard me
You heard me--Yeah you're right
Freedom here be like nowhere else
Louisiana days, Louisiana nights
Freedom here be like nowhere else
Rivers of dreams
Rivers of dreams
Rivers of dreams
Under ever-changing light.

"SOME RAIN TONIGHT"
A Looks like we're gonna have some rain tonight
. B Wind is skirling, air warm and full
Oil is spreading like a dark bruise swells
Fingers press on dey homes' window-sills
. C A'way--A'way we must go
Fight that poison, Gulf of Mexico
. D Yes indeed, be some rain tonight
E Crimes goes on so long as we keep still
Crime goes on so long as we keep still
Sure be time we take control
A Looks like we're gonna have some rain tonight
. B Birds' wings are stuck and they can't fly
Dead sea turtles wash up with the tide
Louie's oysters got no place to hide
. C A'way--A'way we must go
Sure can't dodge that Gulf of Mexico
. D Yes indeed, be some rain tonight
. E Crimes goes on so long as we keep still
Crime goes on so long as we keep still
. Sure be time we take control
A Looks like we're gonna have some rain tonight
. B Don't need more lies under Capitol domes
Don't need more lies selling us cartoons
Don't care who says we can't have our homes
. C A'way--A'way we must go
Fight that poison, Gulf of Mexico
A'way--A'way we must go
Sure can't dodge that Gulf of Mexico
. D Yes indeed, be some rain tonight
. E Crimes goes on so long as we keep still
Crime goes on so long as we keep still
. Sure be time we take control
Lyrics by Don Paul.
