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
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
