Serpentine - Jimmy Buffett[00:00:00]
Maybe it's just age or a thousand other fears[00:00:39]
That took me back tonight to my early carnival years[00:00:46]
I can see the parade a-movin'[00:00:54]
Like the source of the old gulf stream[00:00:58]
Oh what a lovely dream[00:01:03]
Adolescent lust was begging for a start[00:01:12]
As I side-stepped those Brothers with their sacred hearts[00:01:19]
Yet for those two weeks a year it was all about sin[00:01:27]
Folly's chasin' death you can count me in[00:01:36]
There's a flambeaux man with a gold earring[00:01:44]
And the cold north wind smells like kerosene[00:01:48]
Here comes the float of the Carnival Queen[00:01:53]
I want to wrap her in serpentine[00:01:59]
Hands up high eyes open wide[00:02:17]
"Throw me something mister"[00:02:21]
That's why you ride[00:02:23]
Cracker Jacks with toys inside[00:02:26]
Real beyond our wildest dreams[00:02:34]
Floats and masks and a two mule team[00:02:38]
Some things really are[00:02:42]
The way they seem[00:02:45]
Beads and confetti were littering the air[00:02:59]
When the Queen looked at me with her Ava Gardner stare[00:03:07]
Though tomorrow would bring ashes and penance by the ton[00:03:15]
Mardi Gras's where I learned to have fun[00:03:24]
There's a flambeaux man with a gold earring[00:03:31]
And the cold north wind smells like kerosene[00:03:36]
I'm still in love with the Carnival Queen[00:03:40]
I want to wrap her in serpentine[00:03:47]
Still want to wrap her in serpentine[00:03:55]
It was the devil[00:04:17]
