There is a house in New Orleans
Where you woke from [bad word] and they bit your cheek
And they cleaned you out when you went to sleep

Oh, I just wanna change your mind
I just wanna change your mind
And it might [bad word] right away
It might [bad word] till the day I'm done

And I saw it as the house caught fire
And I saw it when the thief got brave
It's like a night, night, crawler, crawlin' out in the yard
And [bad word]  over me in waves

But you're haunted by the morning sun
You keep digging till the night is over

I ain't no doctor, baby
I ain't no doctor, son
But I'll cool your fever till the [bad word] It's a miracle, babe, but it ain't no fun

I just wanna change your mind
I just wanna change your mind
It might [bad word] right away
It might [bad word] till the day I'm done

And I saw it as the house caught fire
And I saw it when the thief got brave
It's like a night, night, crawler, crawlin' out in the yard
And [bad word]  over me in waves

But it's not here now
It's the chance of it I hate
It's a hundred thousand miles off [bad word]  closer everyday
