Didn't we have a devil of a time?
Didn't we have a devil of a time?
A stranger stumbled into town
He talked of turning tables 'round
Didn't we have a devil of a time?

Shot and slam the glasses upside down
Shot and slam the glasses upside down
I was the last one to take a mask
But the first one to strike a match
Shot and slam the glasses upside down

I did not paint a face on the sleeping guard
I did not paint a face on the sleeping guard
A conviction sleeps when the sun goes down
So copper try and catch me now
I did not paint a face on the sleeping guard

Well the silent sirens wait in the alleyways
Well the silent sirens wait in the alleyways
'Till the stone on board is cracked in two
We can spin the red and blue
Silent sirens wait in the alleyways
The alleyways, oh the alleyways

For the moon is under water
For the carnival canals
I gotta' rattle fragile waters
For what's a city, with no underground?
Yeah, yeah, yeah's
No underground
To wander through a Venetian maze
When the devil mocks the streets of New Orleans
But the Devil's Brew I drank tonight
Tomorrow have me exorcised
I tighten up my necktie once again

Rahahahahah

Crown me the merry lord of this rule
With a cracked mask, late hangover, and a ragged suit
Well I curb sided, I crept from sleep
Some stranger left behind his reeds
Crown me the merry lord of this road

Hey hey, for the moon is under water
On the carnival canals
I gotta' rattle fragile waters
For what's a city with no underground?
Yeah, yeah, yeah's
No underground

Didn't we have a devil of a time?
Didn't we have a devil of a time?
They say who's this drunkard stumbling down?
With rags upon that shorted brow
Didn't we have a devil of a time?
Of a time?
Of a time?
