On a cold night In the springtime In New Orleans, 1919 Well its almost like the cold was living in your bones But we opened All the windows From the parlor To the bedrooms And danced and played and sang until the day was reborn 'Cause that can't happen here Yeah nothing happens here So hello Deadly You look lonely as I A turn of happenstance And I could walk a crooked mile So hello Deadly You brought a city to life For desperate vanity Or just a lonely impulse of delight So my mind set On a vengeance And I stocked up For protection Now lost Lenore may fear no more when floorboards moan 'Cause the jazz songs They were lambs' blood On the doorway to being someone But we still want to keep a weapon in our homes 'Cause that can't happen here So hello Deadly You look lonely as I A turn of happenstance And I could walk a crooked mile But hello Deadly You brought a city to life For desperate vanity It's just a lonely impulse When I say Hello Deadly I'm hoping for a sign An answer on marquees Sparkling in light But all that we get Is a lightning bug's flicker To light up the cure Hello Deadly Tell me where it hurts
