The Ghosts Of New Orleans Lyrics

In New Orleans the songs sound different in the rain that falls

And whisky, tastes like water in your mouth

(The graveyard walls can't keep you out)

You are the ghost they warn about

The graveyard walls can't keep you

You are the ghosts they warn about

And you keep all the real ghosts out

And you don't ever want to go home

You don't ever want to go home

Tell me do you ever want to go home?

You don't ever want to go home

The karaoke is some drunks

God Save the Queen and other punk

The Shim-Shamettes left long ago

Back home in bed without their clothes

The chicken feathers on the floor

Foretold all this and much, much more

And we don't ever want to go home

We don't ever want to go home

Tell me do we ever have to go home

We don't ever want to go home

And there are girls who want to know about your life, But I would trade it all for poetry and lies

(But I'm not strong enough)

And now the sun is setting on the Mississippi shore

And we are leaving

And we won't be back for years

And I'm not strong enough

Chorus:

And I - I don't ever want to go home

And I - don't ever want to go home

Tell me do we ever have to go home?

I don't ever want to go home

In New Orleans the songs sound different in the rain that falls

And whisky tastes like water in your mouth

The graveyard walls can't keep you out

You are the ghost they warn about

And we don't ever have to go home

And you don't ever have to go home

And I don't ever have to go home

And you don't ever have to go home

You are the ghost they warn about

The graveyard walls can't keep you out
