Description

Lyrics

In the tunnels of our silence In the bounds of our mistrust I longed for your patience And cried out for your lust I’ve been looking for something That could make me more aware That you are truly someone Who gets lonely who gets scared In the gutters of New Orleans The children laid there crying The dreams that they were living Are crumpled up and dying They are dying In your New Orleans dreams The symphony has ended The conductor has just left And all that now remains Is your blindness and your theft Cause what you now desire Is what you most regret You think you know what’s true But then you’re put to the test And what is left Of your new Orleans dreams I have been the slave And I’ve been the auctioneer I have played the priest And I’ve been the racketeer But I have learned one thing They’re all one and the same One man’s freedom is another man’s guilt And another’s chains Of what remains Of your New Orleans dreams Your New Orleans dreams Your New Orleans dreams
