"Cordelia" lyrics

The Deslondes Lyrics

"Cordelia"
(originally by Drunken Prayer)

I hate what they did to my town so I moved to another town
I hate what they did to my town so I moved to another town

I thought the change would do me good
Cordelia understood
The ghosts were creeping in on me and all my friends
And the house where we grew up is not my home
Oh, Cordelia, where else can I roam?

I hate what they did to my town so I moved to another town
I hate what they did to my town so I moved to another town

Goddamn! I wanna be free
Cordelia, where's our wings?
Black cats on the trail and lonesome whippoorwill
And this house where I grew up is not my home
Cordelia, where else can we roam?

The interlopers on the corner sing
"I wish this town was more like New Orleans."

I hate what they did to my town so I moved to another town
I hate what they did to my town so I moved to another town

I thought the change would do me good
Cordelia understood
The ghosts were creeping in on me and all my friends
This house was just meant to flip and fly
Cordelia, it's time to say goodbye
