Elizabeth Cook - Evacuation

Signs all say, evacuate
They want me to leave this place
But your girl is golden and your God’s beholden
To save the child the wild
I was born on crack thrown on the stack
Now I’m standing on top of the pile
All the cash and carry gonna make a ferry
To a place somewhat safer
They should try the green fairy dry
And a Sazerac chaser
Underneath the levy
We are dead already
I’m surprised to see you
This deep in the bayou

Evacuation, Evacuation

Signs all say, evacuate
They want me to leave this place
But I saw the planes turn to chains
And crash and burn to cinder
And there were buildings down
Floating through a town
To point a finger at a sinner
Me and Kalfu and Mahu too
Know there will be no winner
Shall we die today, Laissez le bon temps rouler
I’ll slide off in the river
Underneath the levy
We are dead already
Im surprised to see you
This deep in the bayou
Evacuation, Evacuation

Underneath the levy
We are dead already
Im surprised to see you
This deep in the bayou

Evacuation, Evacuation
(Let go, be gone, Let go, be gone…)
