This is where the heart breaks This is where the hero dies This is where the dream fades, from black into a brilliant white I thought you'd been blown away, but it seems you're back larger than life If you dont change your wicked ways we'll take you down with fire You creep into the mouths of men and break the lovers up Once the devils in your skin she'll never give you up Have mercy on us all All the big and all the small The pills you take dont do a thing so hunny take them all All the southern boys will say to leave magnolias on her grave That won't keep her away Oh lord she'll never stay away All the churches in New Orleans hurry their sermons to watch her dance All the shadows of the fallen make their way in to this party All the devils little children look to heaven for forgivness All the churches in New Orleans hurry their sermons to watch her dance She two steps on the bones and souls of angry lovers who never had a chance
