EN

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 day Tears of rage and tears of pain We're two lovers called 'em different ways No redemption, no remorse But this love drives a deadly course I can't wait for you Heaven's gate won't wait I can't wait for you 'Cause heaven's gate won't wait So 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 dream I can hear the mardi gras From my hotel window it seems to far As daylight creeps through the shades I can see the price we paid I can't wait for you Heaven's gate won't wait I can't wait for you 'Cause heaven's gate won't wait I can't wait for you Heaven's gate won't wait I can't wait for you 'Cause heaven's gate won't wait I can't wait for you Heaven's gate won't wait I can't wait for you 'Cause heaven's gate won't wait
