 Miss Antoinette  she went out  with a song
Selling  booze and silver  shoes and singing  right along.
Shotgun  and a limousine  while the baby dolls march  on
 Miss Antoinette  she went out  with a song.
 And it's a  long way  down
 Yeah it's a  long way  down.
Down  at the Maple Leaf they  pack 'em in
We  all get sauced, turn down the house,  so we start  all over again.
And  tonight we'll all get reborn  to a couple fifths  of gin.
 (here we go)
The  rich boys get their money back  when the banks  go belly up
But  if you're downtown when the levees  break well you're  shit out of luck.
 (shit out of luck)
And  over at the place they train  the guards
With  Stanton on the drums you don't need  no one  on guitar
And  sometimes all it takes is going  way  too far
And  it's the long way  down
 Yeah it's  the long way  down
 Aw it's the  long way  down
 A  long way down
 And all the rich  boys get their money  back  when the banks go belly up
But  if you're downtown when the levees break  well  you're shit out of luck.
 The penthouse  paupers need your help  so  everybody lend a hand
 And maybe  they'll get you a real sweet  price  on Louisiana land
 Now Christ  down on the street  with his  trombone
 And even  though the 12-year olds  have got  in their bones
Above  these 20 blocks no  one's alone
 The rich boys  get their money back when  the banks  go belly up
 But if you're downtown  when the levees break  then you're  shit out of luck.
 The penthouse  paupers need your help  so everybody  lend a hand
 And maybe  they'll get you a real sweet  price  on Louisiana land
