In the city of dreams
|
Lies the city's ghost
|
There's a beginning
|
There's a middle and an end in this city
|
We reach out for the middle ground
|
We throw a great party
|
So hearts will start to mend
|
We forgivea¢æ| at least we try
|
|
In the midst of the sea of dreams
|
Lies a perfect storm
|
In the sea of tears
|
Lies a city ghost
|
In the spirit of the Mardi Gras
|
Well, the people hope
|
That their lives will get better
|
The people hope
|
That their lives will get better
|
|
I wanna get a room in New Orleans
|
I wanna sing in the streets of the French Quarter
|
I wanna dress up
|
I wanna wear beads
|
I wanna wear feathers and lace
|
I wanna brush by Anne Rice
|
And go down Bourbon Street
|
|
I see a sea of smiles
|
I see a haunted city reachin' out
|
I see hope in all their faces
|
Behind the mask of Mardi Gras
|
Where the good and the righteous walk
|
And the wicked as well
|
|
I wanna get a room in New Orleans
|
I wanna sing in the streets of the French Quarter
|
I wanna dress up
|
I wanna wear beads
|
I wanna wear feathers and lace
|
I wanna brush by the vampires
|
|
I wanna dress up, ooh yea
|
I wanna wear feathers and lace
|
I wanna brush by Anne Rice
|
And go down Bourbon Street
|
Mmmm, go on down Bourbon Street
|
|
Within these rooms
|
I go up to my balcony
|
And I hang the paintings on the wall
|
And I open up my gallery
|
And I open up my doors
|
I stare at the city
|
I stare at my city
|
|
I wanna get a room in New Orleans
|
I wanna sing in the streets of the French Quarter
|
I wanna dress up
|
I wanna wear beads
|
I wanna wear feathers and lace
|
I wanna brush by the vampires
|
|
I wanna get back to New Orleans
|
I wanna sing out in the streets of the French Quarter
|
I wanna dress up
|
I wanna wear beads
|
I wanna wear feathers and lace
|
I wanna brush by Anne Rice
|
Go down Bourbon Street
|
Go down Bourbon Street
|
Go on down Bourbon Street
|
Go on down Bourbon Street
|
Go on down
|
Go on down
|
Go on down
|
Go on down Bourbon Street
|
|
In the city of tears
|
Lies the city ghost
|
