New Orleans

(album: Starlite Walker - 1994)

I'm scared, I swear of you
In the tunnel, in the darkness, the darkest walls of blue
There's beasts and there's men and there's something on this earth that comes back again
Alpha... delta... gamma... everybody's smoked

You can't say that my soul has died away
You can't say that my soul has died away
There's trouble in the hall, trouble up the stairs and trouble in the trouble that's troubling the air
Please don't say that my soul has died away

There is a house in New Orleans
Not the one you've heard about, I'm talking about another house
They spoke of gold in the cellar that a Spanish gentleman had left
I broke in one hundred years ago with a dagger tucked in my vest
Legends of gold I've tried to hold in the grey half-light of the halway at night

One... two... three, four, five
We're trapped inside the song
We're trapped inside the song
Trapped inside the song
Trapped inside the song
Where the nights are so long
We're trapped inside the song
Trapped inside the song
Trapped inside the song
Where the nights are so long

There's traps inside us all
There's traps inside us all
There's traps inside us all
And the nights are so tall
And the night is so tall
And the knife is so tall
