Goodnight New Orleans

Goodnight New Orleans

Goodnight new Orleans, Goodbye Olde World 

Hello my dearest and goodbye new girl

Goodnighting new Orleans Goodnighting new town 

Goodnight my new Orleans I’ll swear I'll come back around


A pep in the step and too passive aggressive

Found out about you from a friend who was baking

Alone at a bar where the cats were meowing 

You left with your boyfriend or was I mistaken

You found us a Royal and Orleans on Easter 

With Jesus behind us his shadow was casting

Dark arms under midnight our talking done cheaply 

While ticking was time and our timing was lapsing

You left in a Lyft after singing goodnights 

After four songs and counting Big Easy goodbyes

goodbye to a pint sizing packing a puncher 

You hunted me down and you dropped me a huncher

That whilst I’m in town we could whist-le some dixie 

Together a tune and together get frisky

But why did u offer my good friend ur number 

then leave with ur boyfriend and leave me to wonder

If subsequent moves were for me for the making 

My last night in town you were mine for the taking

You left me confused and you drove us asunder 

Forgetting my muse and deleting her number

Returning to home to an on-again lover 

To sneak in a gas station bathroom and fuck her


Goodnight new Orleans, Goodbye Olde World 

Hello my dearest and goodbye new girl

Goodnighting new Orleans Goodnighting new town 

Goodnight my new Orleans I’ll swear I'll come back around

 

 

Goodbye big easy and gin blossom burrows 

Of melodies piercing of muses tomorrows

Whose number I’m counting down ticking & tocking 

Before I discard it as we’ve done no rocking

A siren in tiny Burr-ghundy red slip-ons 

A siren whose timing was tocking to rip off

A pint size and black locker talking to kevin 

On holy day vigil night numbering seven

With jesus arisen and sirens forgiven 

A hype-man a holy night gin blossom driven

A phone number passive-aggressively given 

Away to my friend under influence stricken

Emotional stupor until christ is risen 

When messages clarified your sneaky mission

I’m on my way home to a ravenous vixen 

Whose quivering orchid is craving sweet dickin’


Goodnight new Orleans, Goodbye Olde World 

Hello my dearest and goodbye new girl

Goodnighting new Orleans Goodnighting new town 

Goodnight my new Orleans I’ll swear I'll come back around
