Spent all my money on Bourbon Street
Walked through the rain to Armstrong Park
Left worries on Dauphine and stumbled to Burgundy
Some lessons have to leave a mark
Beg the city to impair
Paranoia from nowhere
A quick carefree red eye
Not just love me or die
Without a moment to prepare
New Orleans I'll be there
Kicked bottles and morals with stripes on my feet
Dealing on Basin and St. Louis St
Just looking for an option to get by
I think about these things I do
All hallows cold breeze flutter through
And breed the mischief that my carelessnes provides
Spawn of recklessness and care
Creaking noises dim the air
A quick carefree red eye
Not just love me or die
Without a moment to prepare
New Orleans I'll be there
Oh, won't you give a kiss
Enough to build a dream on
Oh yeah
Oh, give it all it needs
The kind of love that bleeds
Oh, please
Beg the city to impair
Spawn of recklessness and care
A quick carefree red eye
Not just love me or die
Without a moment to prepare
New Orleans I'll be there
