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
