Ludo Lyrics

5. Lake Pontchartrain

I'll tell it like it happened 
It was Darius and Owen and me 
Just a few poor boys 
Trying to get up out of misery 
Took 55 to Louisiana 
Stopped by the highway to eat 
They both had crawfish 
Strictly chicken for me 
Back out on the thunderheads 
The radio was southern soul 
They interrupted Clarence Carter 
With a strange-ass local show 
They were saying: 

Come down to Lake Pontchartrain 
Rest your soul and feed your brain 
That's where you will get to see 
Everything the water can be 

The rain was coming down 
The wind was howling outside of Slidel 
it was the kind of night that makes you think 
The whole world's going to hell 
We got off on an exit 
'Cause we could read the map so great 
With a shocked on mojo 
We parked to deliberate 
When out of the part 
There came a man 
Like the lake had a tongue 
He was right up on the glass 
All yellow-eyed black-teeth 
Banging on the windshield 
Screaming like a demon 
At the top of his lungs 

Come down to Lake Pontchartrain 
Rest your soul and feed your brain 
Free for you and all your friends 
Crawfish 'til the bitter end 
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain 
Wade to where the shallows break 
That's where you will get to see 
Everything the water can be 

I was driving out of there 
As fast as a Camry could 
But the interstate was flooded 
And I had to take the road through the woods 
Bad move in retrospect 
The road disappeared in the rain 
And I stood on the breaks when I saw the sign 
Lake Pontchartrain 

Darius was yelling 
That he saw somebody out in the swells 
He jumped out running 
And Owen was going, as well 
Come back 
Why the hell would they leave the car 
And that's when I heard it 
Make no mistake 
The voices were calling them 
From under the lake 

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh 
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain 
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain 
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain 
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain 

The crawfish were screaming 
The waves ended high 
My friends went in deeper 
The water had climbed 
I watched in terror 
The lake opened wide 
And horribly roaring 
It pulled them inside 
That's how it happened 
Why would I lie? 
There were no bodies 
I've got none to hide 
I'm just a boy 
Lost his friends in the rain 
Any more questions? 
Just go and ask Lake Pontchartrain
