Louisiana, in the bucket of blood
That's where they met, his eyes were like mud
'Cause his whole life he had nothing to see
But he held on to her and he found peace
He'd take her walking down by North Shore
And he always told her, "We're meant for much more."
We oughta go off somewhere so pretty
And then a storm came and fucked up the Crescent City
And then they were left with nothing
She said nothing's not so bad
It could be the best time that we ever had
Every single day
I can feel them chip, chip chipping away
If only we could run, run from these swine
Oh baby, we are wasted in this time, oh yeah
Someday if we try
I know we could fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
We shine like gold
Oh baby, we were born to be adored, oh
And I can feel them staring in my face
Like they're dig, dig, digging me, digging a grave
It's like these people are dead, they're so weak
And someone dug them up and gave them words for their lips to beat
And then they were left with nothing
She said nothing's not so bad
It could be the best time we ever had
Every single day
I can feel them chip, chip chipping away
If only we could run, run from these swine
Oh baby, we are wasted in this time, oh yeah
Someday if we try
I know we could fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
We shine like gold
Oh baby, we were born to be adored, oh
Every single day
I can feel them chip, chip chipping away
If only we could run, run from these swine
Oh baby, we are wasted in this time, oh yeah
Someday if we try
I know we could fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
We shine like gold
Oh baby, we were born to be adored
Baby, we were born to be adored
Well baby, we were born to be adored
