Down in New Orleans in a shack by the water My future found me in the shadows of the quarter Fell down an alley off of Bourbon Street I was growin' half crazy from the crowds and the heat
Coulda been the spell of the hurricane When a voice from the dark whispered my name Slipped down a hallway to a dark back room Heard a phantom in the dark sing a gypsy tune
Chorus: Bon Ton Rouler and a Voulez-Vouz Life in the Quarter could be strange and cruel Bad luck to talk about the things I've seen There's no one meaner than the Gypsy Queen
I laughed out loud when she spoke of luck Reached in my pocket for my twenty bucks I didn't recognize the letters she wrote 'Round a five sided star with the head of a goat
She read my palm and she told me that In my future was the name Lestat Then she finished and I had to go Next stop the grave of Marie Lavoux
Chorus.
Went to the graveyard just about midnight I saw somethin' flyin' in the pale moonlight Next thing I was wakin' and I felt my neck There were two little lumps that were kinda wet
Since that day, I live for the night I glide the alleys away from the light There's only one way that I'll ever depart That's when I leave with a stake in my heart
