Mistress Of Erzulie Lyrics - Alannah - Alannah Myles

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 

Mister, Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie 

Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie 

Well, 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 

When 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 

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 

Mister, Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie 

Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie 

Mistress, [Incomprehensible] 

Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie 

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 

Oh, some things never turn out right 

Mister, Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie 

Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie 

Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie 

Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie 

[Incomprehensible] 3:33 

Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie 

Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie 

Mistress 

[Incomprehensible] 3:55 

Mister, Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie 

Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie 

Mistress, [Incomprehensible] 

Mister, Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie 

[Incomprehensible] 

Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie 

Mistress, Mistress of Erzulie
