Ode to Orleans

Shark-eating moon, fat on the sea,
don't you talk down on the Queen.
She said her heart was like a trumpet
blown too high, with one big bell
at the end of a long, burning bend.
When will you swallow me, Siren?
I am waiting, I'm waiting to be taken.
Buddy Bolden's blood boiled, boiled out,
when you broke his neck.
You broke his neck wide open.
And the streets were red, painted red.
And now they're trying to pave her
with that old white cement, but I say
let's shame them. Shame them down instead.
Well if it don't mean a thing
if it ain't got that swing,
then how you gonna shoot that lady down
that birthed that thing?
Well Lady wills that she will stay,
so keep pushing the water out.

No Backbone

If only these kids could live off
your thoughts,
then maybe it would mean something
when you talked,
but your words got no backbone.
Go ahead now, feed them one more promise,
and watch their mouths drip.
They're waiting at a closed door,
and you're just one more,
lying through a smile.
Cause your words got no backbone.
I cannot live with it, they cannot exist
and we can't live within the turning
of your tricks. Your words got no backbone.
