1- THERE'S A MOON OVER BOURBON STREET/ TONIGHT

2- IT WAS MANY YEARS AGO/ THAT I BECAME WHAT I AM

3- SHE WALKS/ EVERYDAY/ THROUGH THE STREETS OF NEW ORLEANS

I SEE FACES AS THEY PASS BENEATH THE/ PALE LAMP LIGHT

I WAS TRAPPED IN THIS LIFE/ LIKE AN INNOCENT LAMB

SHE'S INNOCENT AND YOUNG/ FROM A FAMILY OF MEANS

I HAVE NO CHOICE/ BUT TO FOLLOW/ THAT CALL

NOW I NEVER SHOW MY FACE/ AT NOON

I HAVE STOOD/ MANY TIMES OUTSIDE HER WINDOW AT NIGHT

THE BRIGHT LIGHTS/ THE PEOPLE/ AND THE MOON AND ALL

AND YOU'LL ONLY SEE ME WALKING/ BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON

TO STRUGGLE WITH MY INSTINCT IN THE PALE MOON LIGHT

I PRAY/ EVERY DAY/ TO BE STRONG

THE BRIM/ OF MY HAT/ HIDES THE EYE/ OF A BEAST

HOW COULD I BE THIS WAY WHEN I PRAY TO GOD ABOVE

FOR I KNOW/ WHAT I DO/ MUST BE WRONG

I'VE THE FACE/ OF A SINNER/ BUT THE HANDS OF A PRIEST

I MUST LOVE WHAT I DESTROY AND DESTROY THE THING I LOVE

OH YOU'LL NEVER SEE MY SHADE/ OR HEAR THE SOUND OF MY FEET

WHILE THERE'S A MOON OVER BOURBON STREET
