My Heart Stopped Beating in New Orleans

from Luna Moth by Luna Moth

/

lyrics

My heart stopped beating in New Orleans. Nobody warned me about the spirits and shades. Drinking miles off the highway seems like the right thing when you don't have to drive away.

I still hear the Mississippi. She's singing softly about the men who died. Can't wait to hear voices rise, to wash this town away and lay me out to dry.

My eyes stopped seeing in New Orleans. But it's alright- I could hear everything-The music bleed into the street, and I could feel the ghosts dancing all around me.

So long. This city's going to take my heart away and put it in a jar of alcohol to save. My smoke disintegrates to tiny spirals of silver and sapphire and disappears in alleyways.
