about

Rum-soaked dream about a Mardi Gras parade. Come join the death parade!

lyrics

Feathered creatures woke me, with the stomping of their feet.
I was feeling hazy, strange creatures passing through these streets
I hear a distant drumming, the drone pierces through my brain
Oh medicine man please tell me, am i alright or am i insane

Come join the masquerade, Come join the death parade

There I saw Damballah dancing, around his neck, a creature serpentine
Then it dawned upon me, how could i not have read these signs.
I saw my dear mother in a pale white dress, a gris-gris bag and a blade
Around the fire, Baron Samedi, almighty Oya, and everybody swayed.

It was down on Congo Square, where I last saw my sweet Marie
As i kneeled down to ask her: stay with me for eternity
So darling build me an alter, bring me cigars, flowers and rum
And I will dance and sing with the loudest voice, for you Marie, until the day you come
