"Riding Down To Mardi Gras" lyrics

The Waterboys Lyrics

"Riding Down To Mardi Gras"

We're riding down to Mardi Gras
The women sure look fine
The money's in the bag
And we're gonna have a high old time
I'm crazy, so I'm told
Guess that's plain to see
But when that baby rolls
Baby you can depend on me

We're gonna capture night and day
Steal neon from the rain
Trap eternity on a sidewalk
Pain a statue etched in pain

We're riding down to Mardi Gras
The city sure looks fine
The money's in the bag
And we're gonna have a high old time
The money's in the bag
And we're gonna have a high old time
