Lyrics
New York is impossibly handsome, impossibly bright
But his hands are too busy, his shirts are too shiny and tight
On Fridays he dances to metronomes
So he can keep counting all night, all night, all night
Every time that I see her, my heart ends up begging to stay
She's been calling me to her, she tortures me every day
Have you been on a joyride? Say your best backslide
Then rocked all night 'til you're trembling and sore?
Please take me in your scented arms
New Orleans, I'm coming for more
Oh, New Orleans, I'm coming for more
I know angels can lie if it lightens your load
They'll be stroking your cheek, but they're speaking in code
They'll take all your money and then hit the road
And leave you broken and smiling
He has no use for me, he never looks in my eyes
I've been waking in panic, it's no way to live or to die
I've nothing of value to bring you
I come to you wasted and poor
Please take me in your scented arms
New Orleans, I'm coming for more
Oh, New Orleans, I'm coming for more
In the rush and the spin, in the flush of my sin
She'll be rolling her eyes while she beckons me in
God, let me love truly, forgive every nation
And walk like a woman again
Baby, I love you, but baby, I just have to go
I've got so much to learn, she's got secrets I just have to know
Oh, I left my true love for ya, oh, just take everything
I'll do what you want me to do
Please take me in your scented arms
New Orleans, I'm coming for you
Oh, New Orleans, I'm coming for you
Oh, New Orleans, I'm coming for you
