Mark Knopfler Lyrics for Song: Planet Of New Orleans
 Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Mark Knopfler
 
 
 
 34913>Standin' on the corner
 
 Of toulouse and dauphine
 
 Waitin' on marie-ondine
 
 I'm tryin' to place a tune
 
 Under a louisiana 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 lookin' straight ahead through the screen
 
 And then I heard her say
 
 Somethin' in the limousine
 
 'bout takin' 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 the 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
 
 34913>
