As midnight draws its steely shades
And the Boystown girls go on parade
My tattoo, she's a kiss away
In the Creole town it's another dayTears of rage and tears of pain
We're two lovers called 'em different ways
No redemption, no remorse
But this love drives a deadly courseI can't wait for you
Heaven's gate won't wait
I can't wait for you
'Cause heaven's gate won't waitSo hold me close, don't let go
With one last kiss, we'll never know
What should have, could have, might have been
We're just chasin' one more dreamI can hear the Mardi Gras
From my hotel window it seems too far
As daylight creeps through the shades
I can see the price we paidI can't wait for you
Heaven's gate won't wait
I can't wait for you
'Cause heaven's gate won't waitI can't wait for you
Heaven's gate won't wait
I can't wait for you
'Cause heaven's gate won't waitI can't wait for you
Heaven's gate won't wait
I can't wait for you
'Cause heaven's gate won't wait
