I got a friend, he says that he's in deep
I took a bus to the bayou
We tore it up, the town of New Orleans
And played some Jazz for a while
Now can you feel it
When you don't need it?
Or have you given up the game?
You keep it honest
I'll give you promises
Boy you gotta do the same
We all need a reason, a reason to run away
Keep askin em' for forgiveness we keep makin' the same mistakes
We don't want your money, yet money is everything
Take it back, I don't want it, as long as my souls at stake ah-a-a
'Cause we're in deep
As long as the sun's rising
'Cause we're in deep, yeah we're in deep
We got a call, the kind that shakes your knees
Nowhere to run but the Gold Coast
Grabbed a runabout, felt that summer night breeze
And rode it down the Mississippi
The heat is risin' (The heat is risin')
We're runnin' out of time (Out of time)
He looked into my eyes, I had to turn away (I had to turn away)
I lost my vision
We're at the river's end
He said until we meet again
Oo ooo oo
We couldn't have it another way
A cynical obsession of mine (Cynical obsession of mine)
Thought it out in our own way
Searching for lost time
Ah ah oh no I can take it up
Take it up 'til its up in the air
