Louisiana Land Lyrics - Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky Extra Nice Edition - Ok Go

Miss Antoinette, she went out with a song 

Selling booze and silver shoes and singing right along 

Shotgun and a limousine while the baby dolls march on 

Miss Antoinette, she went out with a song 

And it's the long way down 

Yeah, it's the long way down 

Down at the Maple Leaf, they pack 'em in 

We all get sauced, turn down the house so we start all over again 

And tonight we'll all get reborn to a couple fifths of gin 

Here we go 

The rich boys get their money back 

When the banks go belly up 

But if you're downtown when the levees break 

Well, you're shit out of luck, shit out of luck 

And over at the place they train the gods 

With Stanton on the drums you don't need no one on guitar 

And sometimes all it takes is going way too far 

And it's the long way down 

Yeah, it's the long way down 

Aw, it's the long way down 

A long way down 

And all the rich boys get their money back 

When the banks go belly up 

But if you're downtown when the levees break 

Well, you're shit out of luck 

The penthouse paupers need your help 

So everybody lend a hand 

And maybe they'll get you a real sweet price 

On the Louisiana land, alright 

Now Christ down on the street with his trombone 

And even though the 12 year olds have got it in their bones 

Above these 20 blocks no one's alone 

And the rich boys get their money back 

When the banks go belly up 

But if you're downtown when the levees break 

Then you're shit out of luck 

The penthouse paupers need your help 

So everybody lend a hand 

And maybe they'll get you a real sweet price 

On the Louisiana land 

It's the long way down 

(Louisiana land) 

It's the long way down 

(Louisiana land) 

It's the long way down 

(Louisiana land) 

It's the long way down 

(Louisiana land) 

Shit out of luck
