Trust me, it's relevant.

(I know not being able to sing didn't stop Bob Dylan or Leonard Cohen, my favourite living singers, but it does stop me.)

Nawlins a big ol lake
Cant get no water
Folk is startin to bake

Suns comin down so hot
Like my pappys blacksmith forge
Think I see some bad folks
Comin cross Lake George

Might as well go to Houston
That Dome be crashin down
Buses shore aint comin
Cant get out this town

Neighbor drown in his attic
Couldnt get out the house
First he holler so loud
The quiet as a mouse

Might as well go to Houston...
