O' Gaia, you cracked out another one As sweet as blood I want to blame you somehow But that's no fun You wind me up and I'm kicking at the smoke You want me good You speak in spirals that sound like a joke And pop the hood But you're a liar to me History has shown I want to give it all to The one I know Louisiana's greatest beauty Plucked out and planted in cement Alive with all that God intended Without a defect or a dent "Creusa!" your daughter is a siren calling me I swim for miles Don't care if she's my albatross I will stand trial Alone and stranded in the wild of the world I call her name And if I starve to skin and bone Don't drag me away You want to ride the serpent And start it all You want to see the garden And be the fall Louisiana's greatest beauty Plucked out and planted in cement Alive with all that God intended Without a defect or a dent
