Only Louise

By the time we rolled in, I was ready for some sleep
Angel was digging a hole, and it was getting quite deep
"It's a long way back to Ithaca", he said with Bright eyes
And I thought I saw the devil in my dreams last night
Yeah, I thought I saw the devil in my dreams last night

What am I doing here?
Tell me please
There is nothing here for me
Only Louise, only Louise

Crowds lined the streets as we rolled into town
They had smiles painted on the faces of the clowns
And Angel's words were taking their toll
As finally I realized the price of my soul
Yes, finally I realized the price of my soul

What am I doing here?
Tell me please
There is nothing here for me
Only Louise, only Louise

And the rooftops, and the lost keys
And it's breaking

Now I'm lying here on the street and it's almost light
Angel's hole got so deep he is now out of sight
If Louise could see me now, I wonder what she'd say
North by northwest, five thousand miles away
You can only do your best to try to survive each day

What am I doing here?
Tell me please
There is nothing here for me
Only Louise, only Louise
Only Louise, it was always Louise
