This is where the heart breaks
This is where the hero dies
This is where the dream fades, from black into a brilliant white

I thought you'd been blown away, but it seems you're back larger than life
If you dont change your wicked ways we'll take you down with fire


You creep into the mouths of men and break the lovers up
Once the devils in your skin she'll never give you up


Have mercy on us all
All the big and all the small
the pills you take dont do a thing so hunny take them all

All the southern boys will say to leave magnolias on her grave
That wont keep her away
Oh lord she'll never stay away

All the churches in New Orleans hurry their sermons to watch her dance
All the shadows of the fallen make their way in to this party
All the devils little children look to heaven for forgivness


All the churches in New Orleans hurry their sermons to watch her dance
She two steps on the bones and souls of angry lovers who never had a chance
