As midnight draws its steely shades
   And the Boystown girls go on parade
   My tattoo she's a kiss away
   In the Creole town it's another day
   Tears of rage and tears of pain
   We're two lovers called 'em different ways
   No redemption no remorse
   But this love drives a deadly course
  
   * I can't wait for you
   Heaven's gate won't wait
   I can't wait for you
   'Cause heaven's gate won't wait
  
   So hold me close, don't let go
   With one last kiss, we'll never know
   What should have, could have, might have been
   We're just chasin' one more dream
   I can hear the Mardi Gras
   From my hotel window it seems to far
   As daylight creeps through the shades
   I can see the price we paid
  
   * Repeat
  
   [INSTRUMENTAL]
  
   * Repeat twice
