New Orleans
somewhere off bourbon
some seek sex some seek love
but when you turn the corner
something wicked this way comes
only brave dare to enter
the alley's damp and dark
fishbones in the garbage
and it smells like broken hearts
the eastern winds are blowing
and i can hear the blind-man grinning
got an evil spell for you
and i'm going down
to new orleans
snake snails and puppy dog tails
be hanging on the wall
black cat in the walk way
and the doorman's ten foot tall
these streets have seen things
that people wouldn't believe
enough to drive a sane man crazy
the haunting of a babies dreams
the eastern winds are blowing
and i can hear the blind-man grinning
got an evil spell for you
and i'm going down
to new orleans
they say be careful what you wish for
cause dreams often come true
but not all the bad in the whole wide world baby
could compare to the evil that you do
so i'm going down
i'm going down down down
to new orleans
new orleans baby
i'm going down down down
