lyrics

Remember New Orleans and that little place in Marigny
With nothing but a mattress on the floor
Just two gypsy souls entwined
We traveled through those moonlit nights
With our dancing shoes an inch above the floor
Sadly, such childish things just cannot be sustained
Our paper parasol was letting in the rain

It’s too late now to put out all the fires
It’s too late now to see what they’ve become
It’s too late now to go spinning tires in the mud
You’ll only wind up face down in your blood

Domesticate this wild thing in a tiny yard in Metairie
It’ll claw your heart out trying to escape
Then you got that factory job and a chill settled in your bones
And your old guitar just never left the case
I tried to warm you but my passion turned to rage
One final ember in the ashes of the day

It’s too late now to put out all the fires
It’s too late now to see what they’ve become
It’s too late now to go spinning tires in the mud
You’ll only wind up face down in your blood

Blow hot air at a cold breeze, in time you’ll get a hurricane
Katrina came and washed it all away
Now we’re waiting on the roof with one guitar and some memories
Is it time to go our separate ways?
Yes, I still love you but I cannot live this way
It’s best to end it when there’s nothing left to save

It’s too late now to put out all the fires
It’s too late now to see what they’ve become
It’s too late now to go spinning tires in the mud
You’ll only wind up face down in your blood
