50 Bourbon Street - The Black Halos

Well, now

If there’s a lover’s graveyard

She’s digging me a grave

Well, I’m sure my marker will read

World’s biggest sucker for a pretty face

Ooh, every time, I think I’ve finally, gone found my mate

Well, she feels scared or she feels trapped

And eventually escapes

So now, I’m loving the bottle

I’m trying to kill the pain

Lips wrapped around it like the end of a gun

I’m gonna drink her love away

Yeah, love is for losers

The greatest lovers were fools

Love will pick you up and bury you down in the dumps

It’ll make a cold stiff one out of you

Ooh, I don’t know why I fall for it

It’s so cliche

Life’s some kind of twisted game

I just can’t help but play

Ooh, I’m a pawn and they’re all queens

They know all the secret moves

And just when I think I’ve won

They always go and change the rules

Yeah, love’s like a bar tap

You just drink it away

It just keeps on building up

And in the end you’ve gotta pay

So now, I’m hitting on a waitress

I keep calling her, nurse

Love will leave you like an empty glass

When you’re dying of thirst

Can I have just one more beer, nurse?

Can’t you see, I’m dying here, now, nurse?

Can’t you see I’m too dry for tears, now, nurse?

Ohh, nurse, can I have just one more beer, nurse?

Yeah, if you want to find me

Well, you know where I’ve been

I’m committing suicide

Down 50 Bourbon St.

Yeah, if you won’t find me

Well, you know where I’ve been

I’m just waiting for my hearse to arrive

Down the 50 Bourbon St.

50 Bourbon, I can’t see, I’m down here

Ohh, can I have just one more beer?

At 50 Bourbon, at 50 Bourbon, at 50 Bourbon

At 50 Bourbon, at 50 Bourbon, at 50 Bourbon St.
