New Orleans Lyrics - Wide Awake - Parachute

Wake up 

I run up to the window 

She's standing on the corner 

Motions me to follow 

I see her in her red shirt 

I slip out of the front door 

And she starts up her car 

She drives 

We're heading for the city 

That's swimming in her bloodstream 

That's pulsing in her heartbeat 

I feel it washing over her 

As she turns onto Canal Street 

She's wide awake again

Oooooooooooooooo yeah 

She swears it's in the air 

You just have to believe 

Oooo Ooo Ooo Ooo 

Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo 

Yes she comes alive down in New Orleans 

We're running by the river 

This city lights' ablazing 

She looks like she could fly off 

Like gravity is failing 

Somewhere in the distance 

A marching band is playing 

She's wide awake again 

Oooooooooooooooo yeah 

She swears it's in the air 

You just have to believe 

Oooo Ooo Ooo Ooo 

Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo 

Yes she comes alive down in New Orleans 

Photos 

Oh and there's something in her eyes that I've never seen 

When she says to me, I'm wide awake again 

Oooooooooooooooo yeah 

There's magic in the night down in New Orleans 

Take me down to the water 

Take me down to the water of New Orleans 

(Take me down to the water) 

No I've never had it figured out 

(Take me down to the water of New Orleans) 

Just a maze I never know 

(Take me down to the water) 

But suddenly it's making sense 

(Take me down to the water of New Orleans) 

When she shows me all 

The roses in the sidewalks 

Like angels at her feet 

And they're breaking through the pavement 

To light her way through New Orleans 

Ohhhhhh oh through New Orleans 

Oooooooooooooooo yeah 

She swears it's in the air 

You just have to believe (You just have to believe) 

Oooo Ooo Ooo Ooo 

Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo 

Yes she comes alive down in New Orleans 

Oh and there's something in her eyes that I've never seen 

When she says to me, I'm wide awake again 

Oooooooooooooooo yeah 

There's magic in the night down in New Orleans 

Take me down to the water 

Take me down to the water of New Orleans 

Take me down to the water 

Take me down to the water of New Orleans
