The Church - Louisiana lyrics

rate me

Empty birdcage in her room

Curtains pulled against the moon

Follow her down to Louisiana

Hotel room bedside manner

God I've got to get back soon

She wriggles like a fish in a net

Details you can never forget

One thing or another

Never any (bother?) considering the (regret?)

//or//

Never anybody causing me no regret ?

That's my story

Cost a fortune

Louisiana

Black rain falling in the night

Strangers meet in the lamp light

Once in her life Louisiana

Standing alone out on the veranda

Christ I must have been a sight

She struggles like a leaf in the wind

Waiting for the music to begin

One thing or another

Always (miss the other lover ?)

Look what a state I'm in

That's my story

Nothing special

Louisiana

Billy moved to Abilene

Lou is searching for morphine

Next stop is Louisiana

No-one there with a welcome banner

I don't suppose that they're too keen

She juggled her gentlemen friends

And suddenly the war ends

Coming home finding other men in hiding

Biding her lonely weekends

What a story

Cast of thousands

Louisiana

Empty birdcage in her room

Shadows shrunk against the moon

Follow her down to Louisiana

Hotel room bedside manner

God I've got to get back soon

God I've got to get back soon
