Mistress Of Erzulie — Alannah Myles

Standing in the red light of a Bourbon Street French Quarter Where I met a Spanish Porter who obliged me with his grin He asked me for my time, I said I'd take a glass of wine And in my altered state of mind I opened up, he jumped right in

Oh, some things never turn out right Oh, some things never turn out right

Chorus

Mister, Mistress, Mistress Of Erzulie Mister, Mistress, Mistress Of Erzulie

Verse II: He kissed me in the lobby on the way to Pat O'Briens No, it didn't take much science to discover what was next W'suddenly a woman with a shrunken-headed necklace She made me feel so reckless, sexless in my innocence

Oh some things never turn out right

Verse III: She led me to the levy, I was helpless as a lamb Don't you know who I am, she said, Your Nemesis is free I was wired like a weapon, I was dancin' like the Dirvish When I woke up feverishly looking down at me

Chorus

Mister, Mistress, Mistress Of Erzulie 4X

Breakdown: From the coveted Ark, To Noah in Asia Sodom and Gomorrah, the light and the dark Chased by the demon to the caves of the Burren Imprisoned by the truth in the tales of the Turrin From original sin to original blame, for shame, for shame

Oh some things never turn out right 2X

Chorus

Mister, Mistress, Mistress Of Erzulie 4X
