New Orleans

In the city of dreams, lies the city's ghost (Here we go) There's a beginning, there's a middle and an end In this city we reach out for the middle ground We throw a great party, so hearts will start to mend We forgive, at least we try In the midst of the sea of dreams lies a perfect storm And in the sea of tears lies a city ghost In the spirit of the Mardi Gras Well, the people hope that their lives will get better The people hope that their lives will get better I wanna get a room in New Orleans I wanna sing in the streets of the French Quarter I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads I wanna wear feathers and lace I wanna brush by Anne Rice And go on down Bourbon Street I see a sea of smiles (ooh ooh) I see a haunted city reaching out (ooh ooh) I see hope in all their faces Behind the mask of Mardi Gras Where the good and the righteous walk And the wicked as well (ooh ooh) I wanna get a room in New Orleans I wanna sing in the streets of the French Quarter I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads I wanna wear feathers and lace I wanna brush by the vampires (ooh ooh) I wanna dress up, ooh yeah I wanna wear feathers and lace (la, la, la, la) I wanna brush by Anne Rice And go down Bourbon Street, mm-mm Go on down Bourbon Street Within these rooms, I go up to my balcony And I hang the paintings on the wall And I open up my gallery and I open up my doors I stare at the city (ooh ooh), I stare at my city I wanna get a room in New Orleans I wanna sing in the streets of the French Quarter I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads I wanna wear feathers and lace I wanna brush by the vampires (ooh ooh) (ah) I wanna get back to New Orleans I wanna sing out in the streets of the French Quarter I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads I wanna wear feathers and lace I wanna brush by Anne Rice (ooh ooh) Go down Bourbon Street (ooh ooh) Go down Bourbon Street (ooh ooh) Go on down Bourbon Street (ooh ooh) Go on down Bourbon Street (ooh ooh) Go on down, go on down (ooh ooh), go on down Go on down Bourbon Street (ooh ooh) In the city of tears, lies the city ghost --- New Orleans - Stevie Nicks
