I saw you in a wet dream
Heavy from the heat
There was a body on fire
On Dumaine Street

My heart is like a piston
Struggling to beat
I let a devil inside
Inside of me

Knock down, drag out
Black heart, red mouth
Your ride, my crown
Knock down, drag out

I fell into the bedroom
I fell into Lafitte
We toast to nothing at all
On Dumaine Street

My city has a history
My city has a sound
It is a resonant fire
It don't back down

Knock down, drag out
Black heart, red mouth
Your ride, my crown
Knock down, drag out

It's on me…

I thought I heard a thank you
I thought I saw you smile
I saw a look in your eyes
Stay awhile

Your body is electric
Flowers always bloom
You are a vision in light
Make your move

Knock down, drag out
Black heart, red mouth
Your ride, my crown
Knock down, drag out

Knock down, drag out
Black heart, red mouth
Your ride, my crown
Knock down, drag out

I'm just a girl who won't do what is told
Gave every heartache a piece of my soul
But it should feel right, oh it could feel right
It's all me

Qu'est-ce que c'est, ce sentiment en moi?
Un petite mort douce, qui ne finit pas
But it does feel right, oh it just feels right
Oh it should, and it could, and it does…

It's on me…
