lyrics

Storyville

Smoke curls from the lips of the harlequin girl
In a papered parlour on a red light row
“Yes Sir, that’s a picture of my mother.
She won’t let me stay, but she knows where I go.”

And it’s warm tonight in Storyville
A soldier and a sailor and a velvet thrill
And these folks know where the good times go
As a street car named Desire rolls, rolls down the hill.

Wrapped in a frame sits the girl with no name
Like a marble figure on a pedestal
“Funny, I love the way you capture my body.
Do you think that one day, Mr. B, I could hang on the wall?”

And it’s warm tonight in Storyville
A soldier and a sailor and a velvet thrill
And these folks know where the good times go
As a street car named Desire rolls, rolls down the hill.

Then one day, Storyville was swept away
For a red brick jungle and a Superdome
But listen, and you can hear the voices of wisdom
Carrying down on the wind to carry you home

“And it’s warm tonight in Storyville
A soldier and a sailor and a velvet thrill
And these folks know where the good times go
As a street car named Desire rolls, rolls down the hill….
Down the hill…
Down the hill…
Down, down, down…”
