The ghosts race towards the light, you can almost hear the heavy breathing spirits, all determined to get somewhere. New Orleans, unlike a lot of places you go back to and that don't have the magic anymore, still has got it. Night can swallow you up, yet none of it touches you. You can't see it, but you know it's here. Somebody's always sinking.

I'm just glad to be feeling better. I really thought I'd be seeing Elvis soon.

Cop comes down the street crazy as a loon, he throws us in jail for carrying harpoons.

Death to me means nothing as long as I can die fast.

There's only one day at a time here, then it's tonight and then tomorrow will be today again.

If I had the stars from the darkest night and the diamonds from the deepest ocean, I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss, for that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.

I bargained for salvation and they gave me a lethal dose.
