The Night Hobs - Belle of Baton Rouge

There's a hint of pity
That strikes when you stare
Chained to a harbor
In the Mississippi waters
A fake, a facade, gutted and filled

Gaming tables, glitter, and girls
Memories of coal and steam

Door man's suspicion
Carved in his face
Every two faced crooked table junkie
Stares me down
The doors open with ease

Gaming tables, glitter, and girls
Memories of coal and steam
Cocktail glasses and cigarettes
Dangle between their fingertips
A dealers hand

Ghostly apparitions emanate from their lungs
Stiff drinks, stiff collars
Dragging their egos behind
We're down to loose change and lost time

Gaming tables, glitter, and girls
Memories of coal and steam
Cocktail glasses and cigarettes
Dangle between their fingertips
A dealers hand
