Lyrics
Feathered creatures woke me,
with the stomping of their feet.
I was feeling hazy,
strange creatures passing through these streets
I hear a distant drumming,
the drone, it pierces through my brain
Medicine man please tell me,
Am I alright or am I insane?
Come join the masquerade,
Come join the death parade
There I saw Damballah dancing,
in his neck, a creature serpentine
And then it dawned upon me,
how could i not have read the signs.
I saw my dear mother in a pale white dress,
a gris-gris bag and a blade
Around the fire was Baron Samedi,
Almighty Oya, and everybody swayed.
Come join the masquerade,
Come join the death parade
It was down on Congo Square,
Where I last saw my sweet Marie
As i kneeled down to ask her
Stay with me for eternity
So darling build me an altar,
bring me cigars, flowers and rum
And I will dance and sing with the loudest voice,
For you Marie, til the day you come
Come join the masquerade,
Come join the death parade
Come join the masquerade,
Come join the death parade
Come join the masquerade,
Come join the death parade
Come join the masquerade,
Come join the death parade
Come on and join the death parade
