[00:09.30]In the city of dreams
[00:13.94]Lies the city's ghost
[00:39.09]There's a beginning
[00:42.31]There's a middle and an end
[00:44.73]In this city we reach out
[00:47.14]For the middle ground
[00:49.98]We throw a great party
[00:53.47]So hard to start to mend
[00:56.17]We forgive
[00:58.73]At least we try
[01:02.05]In the midst of the sea
[01:03.20]Of dreams lies a perfect storm
[01:07.46]In the sea of tears
[01:09.77]Lies a city ghost
[01:13.35]In the spirit of the morning glow
[01:17.41]Well, the people hope that their lives will get better
[01:23.67]The people hope that their lives will get better
[01:31.24]I wanna get a room in
[01:32.68]New Orleans
[01:35.81]I wanna sing in the streets of the
[01:38.48]French Quarter
[01:41.03]I wanna dress up
[01:42.38]I wanna wear beads
[01:43.78]I wanna wear feathers and lace
[01:45.68]I wanna brush by
[01:47.58]Ann Rice
[01:51.05]And go on down
[01:51.69]Bourbon Street
[02:02.68]I see a sea of smiles
[02:06.85]I see a haunted city reaching out
[02:11.06]I see hope in all their faces
[02:15.61]Behind the mask of
[02:16.87]Mardi Gras
[02:21.07]Where the good and the righteous walk
[02:25.28]And the wicked as well
[02:33.32]I wanna get a room in
[02:34.94]New Orleans
[02:37.84]I wanna sing in the streets of the

[03:17.78]Go on down
[03:19.28]Bourbon Street
[03:24.12]Within these rooms
[03:25.66]I go up to my balcony
[03:29.45]And I hang the paintings on the wall
[03:34.42]And I open up my gallery, and
[03:37.11]I open up my doors
[03:39.88]I stare at the city
[03:45.67]I stare at my city
[03:52.15]I wanna get a room in
