New Orleans

I took a walk in a crowded town
 Where if you breathe too deeply
 You're likely to drown
 But the air's not as thick as the sin I found
 In New Orleans.
 Rainbow necks on drunken girls
 Who'd sell their souls for a string of pearls
 I hope there's no place in the world
 Like New Orleans
 New Orleans is a spooky place
 You can see the devil smiling in every face
 Voodoo babies put their pins in place
 In New Orleans
 I took a walk in a crowded town
 I saw a dark boy get beaten down
 I watched him turn to a reddish brown
 In New Orleans
 I held his hand and I sang my song
 I was lying when I told him there was nothing wrong
 I won't be back for sometime long
 Not in New Orleans
 New Orleans is a spooky place
 You can see the devil smiling in every face
 Voodoo babies put their pins in place
 In New Orleans
