The Planet Of New Orleans Lyrics - On Every Street - Dire Straits

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 

Photos 

If she was an ace 

And I was just a jack 

And the cards were never seen 

We could have been the king and 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
