[edit] Lyrics
The Texas sun beats down upon me like the devil's smile I'd rather be anywhere else than here Was it a blinding lack of subtlety or just a lack of style? Responding to the ways and needs of fear Take me back to New Orleans And drop me at my door 'Cause I might love you, yea But I love me more My fingernails are bitten 'til there's nothing left but skin I'd rather be anyone else right now The light that shown within my eyes is slowly going dim She told me where, told me when, but never said how Take me back to New Orleans And drop me at my door 'Cause I might love you, yea But I love me more (She said) how can I make this unhappen? (I said) You cannot make this unhappen Choose before your choices fade away (She said) I could be home by tomorrow (She said) If I could beg, steal, or borrow I said you're there, you might as well stay The morning mist arises through another crack in the glass A lack of sleep has made me numb But sometimes when she sleeps she'll turn and she'll whisper his name That cake must taste great but I'll pass when you offer me some Take me back to New Orleans And drop me at my door 'Cause I might love you, yea But I love me more Take me back to New Orleans And don't call me anymore 'Cause I might love you, yea 'Cause I might love you, yea I might love you, yea But I love me more I love me more
