I'm trying to figure out where everybody's gone
I wonder when they're gonna turn the lights back on
I will be nice about it, I will be forgiving
And I will act as if I wasn't ever put upon
But someone has put something over on me
They've pulled the wool down over me and I can't see
I can't identify exactly who's responsible
But I know where I am and so I know who it could be
Louisiana, take this blanket off of me
I know you're out there with your hands around my neck
And I can feel your breath, now Louisiana take this thing away
Louisiana
Louisiana
You're not so bad and I won't be mad
If you'll only take this blanket off of me
Although I'm glad that Louisiana is a place
So I don't have to spin in dark in empty space
I wish that everything went just as I wish everything would go
I wish I didn't have a blanket on my face
Louisiana, take this blanket off of me
I know you're out there with your hands around my neck
And I can feel your breath, now Louisiana take this thing away
Louisiana
Louisiana
You're not so bad and I won't be mad
If you'll only take this blanket off of me
Louisiana, take this blanket off of me
I know you're out there with your hands around my neck
And I can feel your breath, now Louisiana take this thing away
Louisiana
Louisiana
You're not so bad and I won't be mad
If you'll only take this blanket off of me
Louisiana, take this blanket off of me
