'Cause I'm just trouble shooting in New Orleans I got the same bad connections And the same sweet dreams And I can't sleep at night to save my life I can't close my eyes With the whisper I'm drawn to the cooling skies And maybe we'll walk, maybe we'll run I can't decide Cause I'm so awake And so alive But it's all the same in New Orleans It's just a mean little man messing with my world So it seems But the laughter and the joy I know it's all a ploy because I could have stayed in New Orleans I could have got a sweet southern song A bottle of wine And a shiny string of beads And maybe we'll walk, maybe we'll run Maybe we'll be forced to hang on to Crazy dreams To these crazy dreams Seemingly, it began to end Consoled you are my friend You'll see your chance again But who would believe It was time, just wasted time To follow my eyes where they take me Time to follow my desire Will it break me? I couldn't find the will to care In a crowded class in the mountain air It's just an endless cycle of rain delays Satellite hookups and tooth decay Principles that surround the rich Squandered on the poor, don't do that do that do that do that do that do that Oh, never let go Til the end of the road We gotta hold on, never let go Til the end of the road
