[Intro: Drapht &

[?]

]

Hey, can you tell me where Jacques Imo's is, please?

Oh yeah, that’s that down yonder. just get out on the [?], then you make a left, ah, right at [?] it's a big building. You'll see it

Yeah. Yeah. A’ight, cool. Thanks

[Verse 1: Drapht]

What a beautiful energy this place has

The other day a homeless man told me, "Hey, stand tall. Hold your head high"

I was just walking down the street, minding my business

Appears like a wizard, kinda smells like a dead guy

For a second I felt he knew my inner self

Better than myself, so red around his mouth

It is wine, wine, a French blend before your time (Hey)

It was like he read my mind

"Hi, my name is Mr Germain, what a beautiful day"

I said, "It's night", he said, "You need to get out of your head", yeah, he was right

I am stressed, stressed I started feeling like death

He said, "You wouldn't know death if it sat with you on a bench"

Then started tappin' a packet of cigarettes

I said, "That stuff'll kill you", and he calmly interjects and says

"Not if you've already been forgotten"

And then the next thing I'd seemed to have lost him

[Pre-Chorus: Drapht]

They call me baby in New Orleans

You ain't safe upon these streets, baby

These streets ain’t sweet, baby

’Cause they will take your wings, your clothes, your hat, your soul

Now riding through Holygrove this is beautiful New Orleans, baby

Living in New Orleans, baby

[Chorus: Claudio]

You can hear it in the thunder

If you listen when the sun goes down

You can hear it in the thunder

If you listen when the sun goes down

[Interlude:]

"Give me one second, young man. Give me one second."

[Verse 2: Drapht]

Walkin' down mystery to get to a street car

Hearin’, "Greetings Mr Reid, shouldn't you really be asleep now?"

Police car screams around the corner

Ya, he says, "There's been a scene, another bleedin' lamb up to the slaughter

But I warned you not walk along the street after night time (Why?)

Might get shocked like a key tied up to a kite line (Huh?)

What? You wonder what dying’s like? (No) Wonder what the light's like? (No)

Like Stevie's eyesight? (No) Might just be

The bight like being on the other side of Tyson"

Then he switches and says, "What a time to be alive, Paul

Not the type of thing you take for granted

Oh, that's how you vanished, sleep walkin', livin' life in your pyjamas (Ayy)

Damn, it's such a waste of that bl—bl—

Bloody life that you've been given", he stutteringly finishes

Police man doubles round the block (Ha ha ha)

He turned back around to say goodbye and then he's gone

[Pre-Chorus: Drapht]

They call me baby in New Orleans

You ain't safe upon these streets, baby

These streets ain't sweet, baby

'Cause they will take your wings, your clothes, your hat, your soul

Now riding through Holygrove this is beautiful New Orleans, baby

Ha ha ha ha ha, New Orleans, baby

[Chorus: Claudio]

You can hear it in the thunder

If you listen when the sun goes down

You can hear it in the thunder

If you listen when the sun goes down

You can hear it in the thunder

You can hear it in the thunder

If you listen when the sun goes down

If you listen when the sun goes down

You can hear it in the thunder

If you listen when the sun goes down
