Lyrics van The Black Halos
50 Bourbon Street
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.

Capt. Moody
These tides are the best I've known
Never knowing, where they come
Where they go
Drinking all the time
Never knowing, if I'm sick
Or if I'm feeling fine
Sometimes they drag me down below
But even then, I never let it show
Like a drunk at sea
Or a king without a home
Man overboard
Overthrown
Yeah, girls, I've sailed a few
I've faced the toughest storms alive
And I pulled through
Like pirates in modern times
Taking gold, booze and tattoos
And any friends, I find
Sometimes I feel like Davey Jones
But even then I never get so low
Like a drunk at sea
Or a king without a home
Man overboard
Overthrown
Like a drunk at sea
I'm drifting on my own
Man overboard
Overthrown
Like a drunk at sea
Or a king without a home
Man overboard
Overthrown
Like a drunk at sea
I'm drifting on my own
Man overboard
Overthrown
Like a drunk at sea
Or a king without a home
Man overboard
Overthrown

Jane Doe
Just like a scab in the streets
I see you bleeding from your alley
And all you thought it would be
Sorry, baby, you can't have me

Lost in the 90's
In the back of a record store
Piled up on the killing floor
Vinyl veterans who went to war
When they was in their teens
In the back of a record store
Piled up on the dirty floor
All the songs I'd love to hear
But I don't hear anymore
Now in the darkest hour
On the front all is not silent
But I can still hear
Chuck Berry's guitar scream
I never wanted this to be true, no, no, no
I never wanted this
Wanted this for you
It's been deleted, baby
It's been deleted save me
It's been deleted from your world
Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper
Ritchie Valens, all my forefathers
All died for nothing
Or so it seems
In the clubs the disco's still pumping
On the floor the kids are all humping
But I can't help but shed a tear
When Little Richard screams
I never wanted this to be true, no, no, no
I never wanted this
Wanted this for you
It's been deleted, baby
It's been deleted save me
It's been deleted from your world
It's been deleted, baby
It's been deleted save me
It's been deleted from your world
I never wanted it to end like this
I never wanted it to end
Goodbye to my first kiss and hello loneliness
Goodbye my friends
It's been deleted, baby
It's been deleted save me
It's been deleted from your world
It's been deleted, baby
It's been deleted save me
It's been deleted from your world
It's been deleted, baby
It's been deleted save me
It's been deleted from your world
It's been deleted, baby
It's been deleted save me
It's been deleted from your world
Your world
Your world

No Class Reunion
It's been so long
Since I've been here
It seems like years
Since I've seen you, my dear
All those days are gone
Did you find what you were looking for?
Is your life complete?
Or is it missing me?
If you wanna get it
You gotta get it while it's still young
If you wanna get it, get it on
Get it on, get it on
It's so damn nice
To see you here
I remember every face
As if it was only yesterday
And it feels so good
Feeling up your old neighborhood
Everything has changed
But one thing remains
If you wanna get it
You gotta get it while it's still young
If you wanna get it, get it on
Get it on, get it on
If you wanna get it
You gotta get it while it's still young
If you wanna get it, get it on
Get it on, get it on
Get it on
If you wanna get it
You gotta get it while it's still young
If you wanna get it, get it on

No Tomorrow Girls
Oh no
I said, "Boy, don't you be naive
You get off your knees
That ain't no way to dance"
You see them walking down the street
The queens of queens you'd love to meet
But now you ain't got no chance
Yes, you'd love to take one home, yeah yeah
They'll leave you all alone, yeah yeah
They come and they go, yeah yeah
They're no tomorrow girls, go
It's like chasing a sweet silhouette
The closer you get
The less you understand
You see them drinking in a club
They're drinking rye, you're drunk on love
But now you ain't got no chance
'Cause you'd love to take one home, yeah yeah
They'll leave you all alone, yeah yeah
They come and they go, yeah yeah
They're no tomorrow girls, go
Yesterday's a passing phase
See them pass you by
The future's shining brightly in their thighs
In their thighs, in your eyes, in their thighs
You'd love to take one home, yeah yeah
They'll leave you all alone, yeah yeah
They come and they go, yeah yeah
They're no tomorrow girls
They live to rock 'n' roll, yeah yeah
They're wild without control, yeah yeah
The only ones I know, yeah yeah
Are no tomorrow girls
No tomorrow girls
No tomorrow girls
No tomorrow girls, go

Some Things Never Fall
So here, yes, here we stand
Clenching our hands
Backed up, backed up against the wall
These times, they move too fast
I'm left in the past
But those things, those things never last
Ohh, I don't really wonder why
Some things live and some things die
Ohh, I don't really think about
What it's really all about
And I say yes

My brain decays

Start the Violence
We're sick of starving
We're sick of being snubbed
Gave up on love
'Cause we've been hurt enough
We're just trying to make our way
But there's too many obstacles in our way
That there ain't no other way
We're just trying to break through
But the wall's so goddamn thick
That talking just won't do
And I say
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
The little voices they keep on calling us
The record states, it's time to turn it up
We're just trying to make our way
We keep meeting problems face to face

Underground
It's nothing you can wear
Fascist anti fashion jades me
No one's running scared
I wanna smash the mold that made me
Somehow, I think it's all gone wrong
'Cause now I find myself in a world where I belong
And I won't be staying long
'Cause the underground, ain't underground no more
No, the underground, ain't underground no more
And I don't know what's in store
Just to me, we all look bored
'Cause the underground, ain't underground no more
There's nothing left to prove
Everybody's nuts and bleeding
My pain has been abused
It sounds the same but it's lost the feeling
Somehow I think we lost our way
'Cause now I find myself in a world afraid to hate
And I just can't relate
'Cause the underground, ain't underground no more
No, the underground, ain't underground no more
And I don't know what's in store
She became their corporate whore
'Cause the underground, ain't underground no more
C'mon, let's go
'Cause the underground, ain't underground no more
No, the underground, ain't underground no more
And I don't know what's in store
Look at me, I'm fucking bored
'Cause the underground, ain't underground no more
'Cause the underground, ain't underground no more
'Cause the underground, ain't underground no more
Going underground
Suckers

Warsaw
3, 5, 0, 1, 2, 5
Go
I was there in the back stage
When this light came around
I grew up like a changeling
To win the first time around
I can see all the weakness
I can pick all the faults
Well, I concede all the faith tests
Just to stick in your throats
31G, 31G, 31G
Hung around in your soundtrack
To mirror all that you've done
To find the right side of reason
To kill the three lies for one
I can see all the cold facts
I can see through your eyes
All this talk made no contact
No matter how hard we tried
31G, 31G, 31G
I can still hear the footsteps
I can see only walls
I slid into your man-traps
With no hearin' at all
I just see contradiction
Had to give up the fight
Just to live in the past tense
To make believe you were right
31G, 31G, 31G
3, 5, 0, 1, 2, 5

Go
I was there in the back stage
When this light came around
I grew up like a changeling
To win the first time around
I can see all the weakness
I can pick all the faults
Well, I concede all the faith tests
Just to stick in your throats
31G, 31G, 31G
Hung around in your soundtrack
To mirror all that you've done
To find the right side of reason
To kill the three lies for one
I can see all the cold facts
I can see through your eyes
All this talk made no contact
No matter how hard we tried
31G, 31G, 31G
I can still hear the footsteps
I can see only walls
I slid into your man-traps
With no hearin' at all
I just see contradiction
Had to give up the fight
Just to live in the past tense
To make believe you were right
31G, 31G, 31G
3, 5, 0, 1, 2, 5
