about

Orleans is a single released by Shayler & Brooke in July 2018.

lyrics

Jasmin and ‘jane getting handsy again
adrift in their public flirtation;
trees running wild through pavements, defiled
in the blink of a slow generation.

History barks itself hoarse on street corners,
18pts tall against skillet-pan black,
and it peels off the walls in tinder-box halls,
yeah it brings you down low
‘fore it bounces you back

Orleans - playful and mean
the river outpaces the map
Orleans - soleil levant,
when are you having me back?

Sweetness here resembles cocaine in more ways than one,
sieved like a season over mountains of dough.
Biting maturity down to the quick
upon dignified fingers,
strewn over dignified clothes.

Orleans - playful and mean
the river outpaces the map
Orleans - soleil levant,
when are you having me back?

The freight train rolls by at 5 miles per hour,
cars running chicken over gauntleted tracks.
It’s the wholesale annulment of midday appointments,
laden with all but the sense that it lacks.

And the asphalt wanes ‘neath the waxing sun
- a tyrant enough in its April youth -
and any resolve that the ground once possessed
now clings like a babe to the soles of your shoes.

Orleans - playful and mean
the river outpaces the map
Orleans - soleil levant,
when are you having me back?
