Wheel Inside The Wheel

歌詞

The parade of souls is marching across the sky Their heat and their light bathed in blue as they march by The All Stars play When the Saints Go Marching In A second line forms and they wave white hankies in the wind Satchmo takes a solo and he flashes his million dollar smile Marie Laveau promenades with Oscar Wilde Big Funky Stella twirls her little red umbrella to the beat As the soul parade winds it's way down Eternity Street Souls ain't born souls don't die Soul ain't made of earth ain't made of water ain't made of sky So ride the flaming circle wind the golden reel And roll on brother in the wheel inside the wheel Mardi Gras Indians chant in the streets at sundown Spyboy meets Spyboy and Big Chief meets Big Chief uptown They circle and sway in their rainbow colored feathers and beads They prance like peacocks children of slavery freed Souls ain't born souls don't die Soul ain't made of earth ain't made of water ain't made of sky Ride the flaming circle wind the golden reel And Roll on brother in the wheel inside the wheel The Krewe of the Crossbones parades into the midnight sun They march through the fire and come out beating homemade drums While the French Quarter Queens in their high-heeled drag disguise Sing Over the Rainbow till Judy Garland quivers and sighs Souls ain't born souls don't die Soul ain't made of earth ain't made of water ain't made of sky So Ride the flaming circle wind the golden reel And roll on brother in the wheel inside the wheel Flambeau dancers light the walkway to Jean Pierre's There's a party tonight and all the girls are gonna be there Sipping wormwood concoctions drinking absinthe and talking trash It's a red carpet black tie all night celestial bash Souls ain't born souls don't die Soul ain't made of earth ain't made of water ain't made of sky So Ride the flaming circle wind the golden reel And roll on brother in the wheel inside the wheel I said roll on brother in the wheel inside the wheel Yeah roll on brother in the wheel inside the wheel
