Walking down the street honey New Orleans 
I'm gonna slip my note into the pocket of your jeans 
How was I to know turning green on red A 
Waitress in the sky still playing in my head

Days like these y'know are no one's fault 
A bottle of wine, a loaf of bread, a pound of salt 
Gimme little time to shake up 
I'll meet you when I finally wake up around two 
Lookin' for the truth

Walking up the stairs to the second floor 
I'm gonna slip my note into the keyhole of your door 
How was I to know honey right from wrong 
Walk right into this vacant apartment song

Days like these y'know are no one's fault 
A bottle of wine, a loaf of bread, a pound of salt 
Gimme little time to shake up 
I'll meet you when I finally wake up around two 
Lookin' for the truth...lookin' for the....

Walking down the street honey New Orleans 
I'm gonna slip my hand into the pocket of your dreams 
How was I to know turning light on dark 
Lease it for a year I got a place in Highland Park

Days like these y'know I feel you're pain 
A bottle of rhymes a little music box of rain 
Gimme little time to shake up 
I'll meet you when I finally wake up around two 
Without you...around two...without you or with you

Walking up the stairs to the second door 
We're gonna leave our ghosts on the polished hardwood floor 
How was I to know honey right from wrong 
Walk right out of this lonely apartment song

Things like these y'know I feel you're pain 
A bottle of rhymes a little music box of rain 
Gimme little time to shake up 
I'll meet you when I finally wake up around two 
Around two...around two...around two...around two
