Somewhere off bourbon Some seek sex some seek love But when you turn the corner Something wicked this way comes Only brave dare to enter The alley's damp and dark Fishbones in the garbage And it smells like broken hearts The eastern winds are blowing And i can hear the blind-man grinning Got an evil spell for you And i'm going down To new orleans Snake snails and puppy dog tails Be hanging on the wall Black cat in the walk way And the doorman's ten foot tall These streets have seen things That people wouldn't believe Enough to drive a sane man crazy The haunting of a babies dreams The eastern winds are blowing And i can hear the blind-man grinning Got an evil spell for you And i'm going down To new orleans They say be careful what you wish for Cause dreams often come true But not all the bad in the whole wide world baby Could compare to the evil that you do So i'm going down I'm going down down down To new orleans New orleans baby I'm going down down down
