Ballboy - The Ghosts of New Orleans lyrics

In New Orleans the songs sound different in the rain that falls And whisky, tastes like water in your mouth (The graveyard walls can't keep you out) You are the ghost they warn about The graveyard walls can't keep you You are the ghosts they warn about And you keep all the real ghosts out And you don't ever want to go home You don't ever want to go home Tell me do you ever want to go home? You don't ever want to go home The karaoke is some drunks God Save the Queen and other punk The Shim-Shamettes left long ago Back home in bed without their clothes The chicken feathers on the floor Foretold all this and much, much more And we don't ever want to go home We don't ever want to go home Tell me do we ever have to go home We don't ever want to go home And there are girls who want to know about your life, But I would trade it all for poetry and lies (But I'm not strong enough) And now the sun is setting on the Mississippi shore And we are leaving And we won't be back for years And I'm not strong enough Chorus: And I - I don't ever want to go home And I - don't ever want to go home Tell me do we ever have to go home? I don't ever want to go home In New Orleans the songs sound different in the rain that falls And whisky tastes like water in your mouth The graveyard walls can't keep you out You are the ghost they warn about And we don't ever have to go home And you don't ever have to go home And I don't ever have to go home And you don't ever have to go home You are the ghost they warn about The graveyard walls can't keep you out
