Lyrics

Well it was barely past eleven when my pills kicked in That cabernet didn’t hurt my cause as I stumbled down the rue Not even half as drunk as these strangers I pass Stumbling in and out of bars as they smoked cigars and laughed I don’t even think anyone’s from here anymore Well it’s pouring in sheets down on the bayou And we’re dancing out in the quarter under the lamps Red wine and codeine are coursing through our veins And we never wanna go back home again It’s all art and war if it’s written about Tell me what else could ever really last Trepidation and devastation are all that remain Of those things we thought we’d learned from years that passed Everything else just fades so fast When it’s pouring in sheets down on the bayou And we’re dancing out in the quarter under the lamps Red wine and codeine are coursing through our veins And we never wanna go back home Don’t it make you feel so helpless Sometimes it makes you feel so lost Your love’s all I got baby The things I thought I’d never say Are pouring from my heart like la la la la la The things I’ve forgotten are all but a few Just a stain in the back of my mind See I remember there’s something girl But I’m never sure just what So I just sit here looking for a sign One that I may never find Well it’s pouring in sheets down on the bayou And we’re dancing out in the quarter under the lamps Red wine and codeine are coursing through our veins And we never wanna go back home when It’s pouring in sheets down on the bayou And we’re dancing out in the quarter under the lamps Red wine and codeine are coursing through our veins And we never wanna go back home again Don’t it make you feel so helpless Sometimes it makes you feel so lost Your love’s all I got baby The things I thought I’d never say Are pouring from my heart like la la la la la
