rusty cage - i'll come back to new orleans lyrics
[intro]
the shallow water shimmers in the street light
the neon signs can’t escape the eye
the smell of fish and spice, a smell of which can mix so nice
so take me back here before i die
and the greatest infection, is that of affection
and i wouldn’t have it any other way
but what can i say
[verse 1]
circ-mstance had brought her to the city
she was left behind to try and find a cheap hotel to sleep at night
well hard times fell and she took to strippin’
just a 19 year old girl in the grasps of middle aged married men
and the bourbon street bullh-rn boys bellowed boasts of beautiful girls
who dance behind black curtains in the night
and oh, how that stigma follows, just another sl-t on drugs
and through the drunken slander, she held her pride
[chorus]
and i’ll come back to new orleans
and i hope to find that you’re still waiting there for me
’cause i’ll be back in new orleans
if you still want me there
[verse 2]
she’d only been two weeks in the city
it’d only been two nights for me
and was it vacation high? it felt so real when we said goodbye
and i hope this feeling never fades
and the greatest infection is that of affection
and i wouldn’t have it any other way
in a city full of devils, i found an angel there
and fell in love with a stripper but i never saw her dance
[chorus]
and i’ll come back to new orleans
and i hope to find that you’re still waiting there for me
’cause i’ll be back in new orleans
if you still want me there
[outro]
and the shallow water shimmers in the street light
the neon signs can’t escape the eye
and the city sleeps, but i keep on stirring
so take me back here before i die
