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 solo
And 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 born
Souls don't die
Soul ain't made of earth, ain't made of water
Ain't made of sky
So ride the flaming circle
Wind the golden reel
And roll on, brother
In the wheel inside the wheel
Mardi Gras Indians chant
In the streets at sundown
Spy boy meets Spy boy
And Big Chief meets Big Chief uptown
They circle and sway
In their rainbow colored feathers and beads
They prance like peacocks
Children of slavery freed
Souls ain't born
Souls don't die
Soul ain't made of earth, ain't made of water
Ain't made of sky
Ride the flaming circle
Wind the golden reel
Roll on, brother
In 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 born
Souls don't die
Soul ain't made of earth, ain't made of water
Ain't made of sky
So ride the flaming circle
Wind the golden reel
And roll on, brother
In the wheel inside the wheel
Flam beau dancers
Light the walkway to Jean Pierre's
There's a party there tonight
And all the girls are gonna be there
Sipping wormwood concoctions
Drinking absinthe and talking trash
It's a red carpet, black tie
All night, celestial bash
Souls ain't born
Souls don't die
Soul ain't made of earth, ain't made of water
Ain't made of sky
So ride the flaming circle
Wind the golden reel
And roll on, brother
In the wheel inside the wheel
I said roll on, brother
In the wheel inside the wheel
Yeah, roll on, brother
In the wheel inside the wheel
