The eighteen hundreds, before the inception Of modern day ideals, fake grip of appeals, Straight to the street run, no bar room virgin, Double vision cocaine, to a whore house of pain (Think deep within ourselves, things haven't changed so much) New Orleans is a dying whore Naked she sleeps on my floor New Orleans is a dying whore The spreading highway, the underwater staircase Leading up to a black room, to leave there you're a fool Mob world politics, so broke it can't fix, Trapped in a time zone, there's no place like home (If it ain't broke don't try and fix it, oh but there can be an exception) New Orleans is a dying whore With your love she breaks down my door New Orleans is a dying whore (Relax) New Orleans is a dying whore Stripped down and beat to the floor New Orleans is a dying whore Blood covered, stuck to my floor
