New Orleans Songtext
von Kimberly Freeman
New Orleans Songtext
I took a walk in a crowded town
Where if you breathe too deeply
You′re likely to drown
But the air's not as thick as the sin I found
In New Orleans.
Rainbow necks on drunken girls
Who′d sell their souls for a string of pearls
I hope there's no place in the world
Like New Orleans
New Orleans is a spooky place
You can see the devil smiling in every face
Voodoo babies put their pins in place
In New Orleans
I took a walk in a crowded town
I saw a dark boy get beaten down
I watched him turn to a reddish brown
In New Orleans
I held his hand and I sang my song
I was lying when I told him there was nothing wrong
I won't be back for sometime long
Not in New Orleans
New Orleans is a spooky place
You can see the devil smiling in every face
Voodoo babies put their pins in place
In New Orleans
Where if you breathe too deeply
You′re likely to drown
But the air's not as thick as the sin I found
In New Orleans.
Rainbow necks on drunken girls
Who′d sell their souls for a string of pearls
I hope there's no place in the world
Like New Orleans
New Orleans is a spooky place
You can see the devil smiling in every face
Voodoo babies put their pins in place
In New Orleans
I took a walk in a crowded town
I saw a dark boy get beaten down
I watched him turn to a reddish brown
In New Orleans
I held his hand and I sang my song
I was lying when I told him there was nothing wrong
I won't be back for sometime long
Not in New Orleans
New Orleans is a spooky place
You can see the devil smiling in every face
Voodoo babies put their pins in place
In New Orleans
