New Orleans Dreams
Ed Hale

In the tunnels of our silence

In the bounds of our mistrust

I longed for your patience

And cried out for your lust

I've been looking for something

That could make me more aware

That you are truly someone

Who gets lonely who gets scared

In the confines of our love

I thought I saw solution

That cleared away the smoke

And pulled out our pollution

In the gutters of New Orleans

The children laid there crying

The dreams that they were living

Are crumpled up and dying

They are dying

The symphony has ended

The conductor has just left

And all that now remains

Is your blindness and your theft

The melodies are broken

And the music sounds so wrong

And now I know for certain

That this just can't go on

What is wrong?

Because you can't escape

From the all the things you've done

And all the wars you waged

Can now never be won

Your books should all be burned

Your head is being filled

With false and useless knowledge

That just might get you killed

Cause what you now desire

Is what you most regret

You think you know what's true

But then you're put to the test

And what is left

Of your new Orleans dreams

I have been the slave

And I've been the auctioneer

I have played the priest

And I've been the racketeer

But I have learned one thing

They're all one and the same

One man's freedom is another man's guilt

And another's chains

Of what remains

Because I know a secret

That I conceal down below

You try to act so cool

But I think you've lost control

And the bells they are ringing

So now what will you do

Will you slumber through the storm

Or will you walk right through

What will you do

The judge has robed and entered

And the court is now in session

The law has been laid down on you

And there's no chance to petition

You own the keys to unlock your prison

And baby when you go

Call on me cause I'll be waiting

Brother don't you know

I'll be waiting

In your New Orleans dreams
