There is a house in New Orleans

 Where you woke from a coma and they bit your cheek

 And they cleaned you out when you went to sleep

 

 Oh, I just wanna change your mind

 I just wanna change your mind

 And it might be come right away

 It might be come till the day I'm done

 

 And I saw it as the house caught fire

 And I saw it when the thief got brave

 It's like a night, night, crawler, crawlin' out in the yard

 And it's comin' over me in waves

 

 But you're haunted by the morning sun

 You keep digging till the night is over

 

 I ain't no doctor, babe

 I ain't no doctor, son

 But I'll cool your fever till the doctor comes

 It's a miracle, babe, but it ain't no fun

 

 I just wanna change your mind

 I just wanna change your mind

 It might be come right away

 It might be come till the day I'm done

 

 And I saw it as the house caught fire

 And I saw it when the thief got brave

 It's like a night, night, crawler, crawlin' out in the yard

 And it's comin' over me in waves

 

 But it's not here now

 It's the chance of it I hate

 It's a hundred thousand miles off 

 Comin' closer everyday
