In the shade of a cathedral
In a quarter made of dreams
Tell my fortune in the main square
When I'm back in New Orleans
See you making love on Bourbon
With ruby hurricane machines
Then wander through an open market
When I'm back in New Orleans
See the tortured in the Dungeon
Ah but you never hear those screams
Can we go walking be the river
When I'm back in New Orleans
Down in the ally with the Vampires
And all those Gothic beauty queens
And all the Witches come to see me
When I'm back in New Orleans
Back in New Orleans
Back in New Orleans
Back in New Orleans
Back in New Orleans
