Louisiana's Greatest Beauty Lyrics

O' Gaia, you cracked out another one

As sweet as blood

I want to blame you somehow

But that's no fun

You wind me up and I'm kicking at the smoke

You want me good

You speak in spirals that sound like a joke

And pop the hood

But you're a liar to me

History has shown

I want to give it all to

The one I know

Louisiana's greatest beauty

Plucked out and planted in cement

Alive with all that God intended

Without a defect or a dent

"Creusa!" your daughter is a siren calling me

I swim for miles

Don't care if she's my albatross

I will stand trial

Alone and stranded in the wild of the world

I call her name

And if I starve to skin and bone

Don't drag me away

You want to ride the serpent

And start it all

You want to see the garden

And be the fall

Louisiana's greatest beauty

Plucked out and planted in cement

Alive with all that God intended

Without a defect or a dent
