lyrics

After Katrina (Les Smith © 2019 SOCAN)

Broken plates and twisted gates
Shingles in the sand
Everything plus the kitchen sink
and an upside-down sedan
and no one has insurance
and the clothes lines are all down
all I've got to my name
is a shadow of this town

Chorus
I wanna go home
But there's no place left to go
The Mississippi took my house
To the gulf of Mexico

Verse (2a)
Katrina had a hey day
and left the sun to shine
it all seems so pointless
wish we could just turn back the time
seaweed hanging from the rafters
the high tide left behind
and a bicycle just hanging there
From the Tipatina sign

repeat chorus

the City banks still standing
on the right side of the street
Billy the kid is crying
cuz there's no shoes on his feet
Crystal Angelina
looks pretty much the same
she hid inside her basement
With plywood window panes
dogs are running wild
looking for anyone who cares
The westside Shanghi
looks like it was never there

Repeat chorus

Buried in the wreckage
that no one could out run
is a senorita's baby boy
Trying to find the sun
Dogs and cops and meter maids
Ears pressed to the ground
Skin their knees and cut their hands
Searching for a sound
Everything is spinning
And the city's in lock down
Everybodys lost
in a shadow of this town

repeat Chorus
