| The parade of souls is marching across the sky
Their heat and their light bathed in blue as they march by
The All Stars play "When the Saints Go Marching In"
A second line forms and they wave white hankies in the wind
Satchmo takes a soloand he flashes his million dollar smile
Marie Laveau promenades with Oscar Wilde
Big Funky Stella twirls her little red umbrella to the beat
As the soul parade winds its way down Eternity Street
Souls ain't bornsouls don't die
Soul ain't made of earthain't made of waterain't made of sky
Soride the flaming circlewind the golden reel
And roll onbrotherin the wheel inside the wheel
Mardi Gras Indians chant in the streets at sundown
Spyboy meets Spyboyand Big Chief meets Big Chief uptown
They circle and sway in their rainbow colored feathers and beads
They prance like peacockschildren of slavery freed
Souls ain't bornsouls don't die
Soul ain't made of earthain't made of waterain't made of sky
Ride the flaming circlewind the golden reel
Roll onbrotherin the wheel inside the wheel
The Krewe of the Crossbones parades into the midnight sun
They march through the fire and come out beating homemade drums
While the French Quarter Queens in their high-heeled drag disguise
Sing "Over the Rainbow" 'til Judy Garland quivers and sighs
Souls ain't bornsouls don't die
Soul ain't made of earthain't made of waterain't made of sky
Ride the flaming circlewind the golden reel
And roll onbrotherin the wheel inside the wheel
Flambeau dancers light the walkway to Jean Pierre's
There's a party tonight and all the girls are gonna be there
Sipping wormwood concoctionsdrinking absinthe and talking trash
It's a red carpetblack tieall nightcelestial bash
Souls ain't bornsouls don't die
Soul ain't made of earthain't made of waterain't made of sky
Ride the flaming circlewind the golden reel
And roll onbrotherin the wheel inside the wheel
I said roll onbrotherin the wheel inside the wheel
Yeahroll onbrotherin the wheel inside the wheel
