Bayou Queen

[Verse 1 – arrastado, sensual]
Saw her walkin’ by the moonlit stream,
Eyes like storms, lips like steam.
She said “Don’t ask where I been,”
Just call me your Bayou Queen.

[Refrain – suave, repetido com eco e backing vocal feminino]
Bayou Queen... oh, Bayou Queen...
Dancin’ through my midnight dream.
Bayou Queen... Bayou Queen...
You haunt my soul, you stole my steam.

[Verse 2 – mais intenso, groove crescente]
Whiskey burns and voodoo drums,
She laughs while the darkness hums.
One kiss, and the world went green,
Spinnin’ wild with my Bayou Queen.

[Refrain – com variação rítmica]
Bayou Queen... Bayou Queen...
You ride the river, you rule the scene.
Bayou Queen... in my bloodstream...
You’re the smoke in my machine.

[Bridge – spoken word, grave, sussurrado]
They warned me 'bout the girl in lace,
With fire in her blood, and stars on her face.
But I danced in the mist, I drank the dream...
And now I’m lost... with my Bayou Queen.

[Refrain final – mais lento e emocional]
Bayou Queen... Bayou Queen...
She fades at dawn, like kerosene.
Bayou Queen... sweet dream unseen...
Still hear her laugh in the in-between...
