Fire on the Partchartrain Songtext
von The Lost Trailers

The cocaine bags and your lover′s numbers
Found in the bottom of our baby's crib
I never asked for what you have given
And I won′t take it for another day
And if you say I've become a stranger
In this house that I've built for you
Then I would ask you to reconsider
Your rendezvous out on Lake Pontchartrain

I have been wronged and I have been mad
I have planned violence in the face of love
I tore the wires and left them tattered
I swear the both of you won′t make it back, hey hey

I used to guess why men would turn to violence
Then I met you and it came all too clear
The whiskey, wine, and the constant lying
And the cheating in our very own bed


I have been wronged and I have been mad
I have planned violence in the face of love
I tore the wires and left them tattered
That boat I swear to you won′t make it back, hey hey

So cheating men and cheating women
Don't deserve half of what they′ve torn away
Just a brief float in my old john boat
And blow them up upon the Pontchartrain

I have been wronged and I have been mad
I have done murder in the face of love
I tore the wires and left them tattered
Lord knows the both of you won't make it back, hey hey

Fire on the Pontchartrain (Fire on the Pontchartrain)
I′ll watch the rising flames and make a toast
Then I'll buy myself a brand new boat
Fire on the Pontchartrain (Fire on the Pontchartrain)
Fire on the Pontchartrain (Fire on the Pontchartrain)
Fire on the Pontchartrain (Fire on the Pontchartrain)
Fire on the Pontchartrain

It′s such a beautiful light
Such a beautiful light
Such a beautiful light
Such a beautiful light


Such a beautiful light on the night of the Pontchartrain
Saw you leaving in the pouring rain
Turned my head and I count to ten
Now I want you back again
Such a beautiful light on the night of the Pontchartrain
Saw you leaving in the pouring rain
I turned my head and I count to ten
But I want you back
It's a beautiful light
Such a beautiful light

It was a beautiful light
Such a beautiful light
Such a beautiful light
