Louie, Lou-ie
Neiman’s apro’ flame*
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
lyrics scream: pumpkin, blue, green
and Satch, you’re burning it up
Louie, Lou-ie
you’re cloudy-white teeth, gritty
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
lyrics scream: crimson, yellow
blaze the blues out your trumpet
Louie, Lou-ie
the microphone horizon
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
marvels at your artistry
the flames claim your audience
Louie, Lou-ie
Leroy Neiman toys with you
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
brush’d bruising, blushing of paint
aged ceiling’s raised - feel the flames
