Crescent City Time
I never felt so cold at such a hot, humid place
If you think I'm smilin', it's just movements on my face
Runnin' out of callin' cards, talkin' to her machine
And I know every goddamn payphone, every bar in New Orleans
And the stars spell her name on the horizon
I just wish they would say that she was still mine
She was the best goddamn view I ever laid my eyes on
Here I am doin' crescent city time
They don't bury the dead down here in the ground
Just put 'em in concrete to make sure they don't float away
I just took a flat one night to leave you all behind
Here I am doin' crescent city time
And the stars spell your name on the horizon
I just wish they'd say that you were still mine
You were the best goddamn view I ever laid my eyes on
Here I am doin' crescent city time
Just wish I had an alligator's need to put my jaws around somethin'
Somethin' real solid to help me hold my ground
But everybody around me, they seem to be gettin' somewhere
Here I am just doin' the crescent city rounds
And the stars spell your name on the horizon
I just wish they'd say that you were still mine
Oh, you were the best goddamn view I ever laid my eyes on
Here I am doin' crescent city time
'Cause the stars spell your name on the horizon
Well, I just wish they'd say that you were still mine
'Cause you were the best goddamn view I ever laid my eyes on
Here I am doin' crescent city time
If you think I'm smilin', it's just movements on my face
Runnin' out of callin' cards, talkin' to her machine
And I know every goddamn payphone, every bar in New Orleans
And the stars spell her name on the horizon
I just wish they would say that she was still mine
She was the best goddamn view I ever laid my eyes on
Here I am doin' crescent city time
They don't bury the dead down here in the ground
Just put 'em in concrete to make sure they don't float away
I just took a flat one night to leave you all behind
Here I am doin' crescent city time
And the stars spell your name on the horizon
I just wish they'd say that you were still mine
You were the best goddamn view I ever laid my eyes on
Here I am doin' crescent city time
Just wish I had an alligator's need to put my jaws around somethin'
Somethin' real solid to help me hold my ground
But everybody around me, they seem to be gettin' somewhere
Here I am just doin' the crescent city rounds
And the stars spell your name on the horizon
I just wish they'd say that you were still mine
Oh, you were the best goddamn view I ever laid my eyes on
Here I am doin' crescent city time
'Cause the stars spell your name on the horizon
Well, I just wish they'd say that you were still mine
'Cause you were the best goddamn view I ever laid my eyes on
Here I am doin' crescent city time
