Silver Blue

Well, I've been down so long, my friend
It looks like up to me
And as the world, it turns and turns
I'm tossed from sea to sea
I thought I'd make the pilgrimage
I went to New Orleans
But she crept into my tortured soul
I fell down upon my knees

She's a dark little motorvator
A caravan in cool
A diamond alligator
So dangerous, it's true
As the saints go marching through
My silver blue, silver blue
My silver blue, silver blue

She slapped the man, she slapped the man
That packed the pawn machine
Well, she's the one that's farthest from
Anything on the scene
No, she's the girl that likes the girl
That all the boys think is mean
She's a twisted kind of playful girl
With too much upper steam

She's a dark little motorvator
There's nothing she can't do
And she's my escalator
And she's my ladder, too
As the saints go marching through
With my silver blue, silver blue
My silver blue, yeah, silver blue
Alright

Found myself on Bourbon Street
My head was all a mess
She was lying next to me
Beside the wedding dress
I didn't even have to ask
Didn't need to guess
Well, the night had passed
So it seemed my demons laid to rest

Well, she's a dark little motorvator
A caravan in cool
A diamond alligator
So dangerous, it's true
She's a dark little motorvator
There's nothing she can't do
And she's my escalator
And she's my ladder, too

Love can be beautiful, too
With my silver blue, silver blue
My silver blue, yeah, silver blue
