It has all been done.
Been done already.
It has all been done.
Been done already.
Yes, it's all been done already
So you might as well just hit the floor
As the tide beats soft, then steady
Watching the water rise like it's no ones fault
Mother the bathtubs running
Won't somebody get it?
If the sink runs over we're gonna regret it
But it's all been done already
So you might as well just take the fall
As the tide beats soft then steady
Watching the water rise like it's no ones fault
In the near future the land will recede
Making more homes ocean front property
A few cites will sink, baptized by the sea
Houston, New York, you will be two of these
But New Orleans, New Orleans
of all that I've found
Your streets always dusty
your wickedness grander
but summer got warmer
the poles both don't freeze
and soon you'll be swimming New Orleans
So come pastor, come minister
Hands we will need
Dry off those faces
Be good company
There's salvation in labor
and safety in threes
swimming the streets
of New Orleans with me
Well, New Orleans, New Orleans
of all that I've found
Your streets always dusty
and pilgrims abound
We will gather this wreckage
And haul out those seas
Willing to build a new Orleans with me
New Orleans, New Orleans
of all that I've found
Your streets always dusty
your wickedness grander
but summer got warmer
the poles both don't freeze
and soon you'll be swimming
New Orleans with me
Well, New Orleans, New Orleans
of all that I've found
Your streets always dusty
the pilgrims abound
We will gather this wreckage
And haul out those seas
Willing to build a new Orleans
A new, New Orleans with me.
