Devil's in NOLA
When I first met the devil, she was dancing at a club in New Orleans
She was begging with her body for a dollar, half collapsed to her knees
Her wicked eyes were hollow, her silver tongue glistened when she'd speak
Her words from a language that I'd heard in my anguishing dreams
Now, Lord, can you save me from this place that I'm in?
For the floors, they're all painted an awful shade of sin
How I longed for the hour that I'd get to see my lover's face again
The men with their money, they were finding it funny, I believe
They could see it in my eyes, all I'd wanted on that night was to leave
Now, Lord, can you save me from this place that I'm in?
For the floors, they're all painted an awful shade of sin
How I longed for the hour that I'd get to see my lover's face again
I swear I'll raise her higher, hold her tighter than I ever once did
Now, Lord, can you save me from this place that I'm in?
For the floors, they're all painted an awful shade of sin
How I longed for the hour that I'd get to see my lover's face again
I swear I'll raise her higher, hold her tighter than I ever once did
She was begging with her body for a dollar, half collapsed to her knees
Her wicked eyes were hollow, her silver tongue glistened when she'd speak
Her words from a language that I'd heard in my anguishing dreams
Now, Lord, can you save me from this place that I'm in?
For the floors, they're all painted an awful shade of sin
How I longed for the hour that I'd get to see my lover's face again
The men with their money, they were finding it funny, I believe
They could see it in my eyes, all I'd wanted on that night was to leave
Now, Lord, can you save me from this place that I'm in?
For the floors, they're all painted an awful shade of sin
How I longed for the hour that I'd get to see my lover's face again
I swear I'll raise her higher, hold her tighter than I ever once did
Now, Lord, can you save me from this place that I'm in?
For the floors, they're all painted an awful shade of sin
How I longed for the hour that I'd get to see my lover's face again
I swear I'll raise her higher, hold her tighter than I ever once did
