Instant Death
(Coverdale/Moody)
She got them eagle feathers; cocaine eyes
She got the heat to make a dead man rise
A rose in her hair, a devil may care attitude
She never said she would stay by my side
She only wanted to be there for the ride
A bottle of wine, a coupla lines
She was there for the night
Tried to change her ways
I said I'd keep her in a golden cage
She said: "Oh no this ain't no place for me"
Angel of mercy, angel of greed
Never stop till she get what she need
She dance like Salome
An' curses with a matelot tongue
I said baby won'
She got them eagle feathers; cocaine eyes
She got the heat to make a dead man rise
A rose in her hair, a devil may care attitude
She never said she would stay by my side
She only wanted to be there for the ride
A bottle of wine, a coupla lines
She was there for the night
Tried to change her ways
I said I'd keep her in a golden cage
She said: "Oh no this ain't no place for me"
Angel of mercy, angel of greed
Never stop till she get what she need
She dance like Salome
An' curses with a matelot tongue
I said baby won'
Denn Er Ist Ein Spieler
Delta Queen
honey honey
Where you been
Delta Queen
honey
honey
Where you been.
Tell me mister have you seen
The girl they call the Delta Queen
In New Orleans
He said
I know the girl you mean
She's singing at the Delta Queen
Down seventeen.
And when I saw her there
Silver gaslight on her hair
I didn't mind the smoky room
Or the smell of stale perfume
I only know that she's
A fallen angel on her knees
A woman tired of being alone
The one that I'm now taking home.
She left her home in Baton Rouge
She only had one pair of shoes
What could she lose.
The time had come for her to chose
Between the good life and the blues
What could she lose.
