Sheets Down

Well it was barely past eleven when my pills kicked in
 That cabernet didnt hurt my cause as I stumbled down the rue
 Not even half as drunk as these strangers I pass
 Stumbling in and out of bars as they smoked cigars and laughed
 I dont even think anyones from here anymore
 Well its pouring in sheets down on the bayou
 And were dancing out in the quarter under the lamps
 Red wine and codeine are coursing through our veins
 And we never wanna go back home again
 Its all art and war if its written about
 Tell me what else could ever really last
 Trepidation and devastation are all that remain
 Of those things we thought wed learned from years that passed
 Everything else just fades so fast
 When its pouring in sheets down on the bayou
 And were dancing out in the quarter under the lamps
 Red wine and codeine are coursing through our veins
 And we never wanna go back home
 Dont it make you feel so helpless
 Sometimes it makes you feel so lost
 Your loves all I got baby
 The things I thought Id never say
 Are pouring from my heart like la la la la la
 The things Ive forgotten are all but a few
 Just a stain in the back of my mind
 See I remember theres something girl
 But Im never sure just what
 So I just sit here looking for a sign
 One that I may never find
 Well its pouring in sheets down on the bayou
 And were dancing out in the quarter under the lamps
 Red wine and codeine are coursing through our veins
 And we never wanna go back home when
 Its pouring in sheets down on the bayou
 And were dancing out in the quarter under the lamps
 Red wine and codeine are coursing through our veins
 And we never wanna go back home again
 Dont it make you feel so helpless
 Sometimes it makes you feel so lost
 Your loves all I got baby
 The things I thought Id never say
 Are pouring from my heart like la la la la la
