There Came a Clatterin'
Rollin' through Angola like a holy roller man that dig's outa site
I'm in this for the crazy pretty honey baby
And the moon's shining full tonight
Just waiting for the exodus waiting for the rest of us
These cats have all got to smile
Clouds rolling in to shade the shady den
The crowd's gonna gnash and pile
We're just animals (just animals)
Drunken handfuls (drunken handfuls)
We'll white wash these walls we'll paint them red
We'll rendezvous (rendezvous) like clowns at carnival
And pray we will survive the rest of this
Oh, witches laughing gilded streets
New Orleans you sharpen your teeth
Moving east to Savannah avoiding Alabama
Lay waste to the road in our path
From the swamp to the sea can't wait to leave
But you know we'll be coming on back
We'll burn down your cities break down your levees
Folks gonna rue the day
We lay shade on your city jail bound and ready
To watch these streets burn away
We're just animals (just animals)
Drunken handfuls (drunken handfuls)
We'll white wash these walls we'll paint them red
We'll rendezvous (rendezvous) like clowns at carnival
And pray we will survive the rest of this
Oh, witches laughing gilded streets
New Orleans you sharpen your teeth
I'm in this for the crazy pretty honey baby
And the moon's shining full tonight
Just waiting for the exodus waiting for the rest of us
These cats have all got to smile
Clouds rolling in to shade the shady den
The crowd's gonna gnash and pile
We're just animals (just animals)
Drunken handfuls (drunken handfuls)
We'll white wash these walls we'll paint them red
We'll rendezvous (rendezvous) like clowns at carnival
And pray we will survive the rest of this
Oh, witches laughing gilded streets
New Orleans you sharpen your teeth
Moving east to Savannah avoiding Alabama
Lay waste to the road in our path
From the swamp to the sea can't wait to leave
But you know we'll be coming on back
We'll burn down your cities break down your levees
Folks gonna rue the day
We lay shade on your city jail bound and ready
To watch these streets burn away
We're just animals (just animals)
Drunken handfuls (drunken handfuls)
We'll white wash these walls we'll paint them red
We'll rendezvous (rendezvous) like clowns at carnival
And pray we will survive the rest of this
Oh, witches laughing gilded streets
New Orleans you sharpen your teeth
