Fire On The Pontchartrain Lyrics - Lost Trailers

The cocaine bag, and your lovers numbers 

Found in the bottom of our baby's crib 

I've never asked for what you have given 

And I can't take it for another day 

And if you say I've become a stranger 

In this house that I built for you 

Then I would ask you to reconsider 

Your rendezvous out on Lake Pontchartrain 

Chorus: 

I have been wronged and I have been mad 

I have planned violence in the face of love 

I tore the wires, and left them tattered 

I swear the both of you won't make it back, Hey, Hey 

I never knew why men would turn to violence 

Then I met you and it came all too clear 

The whiskey, whining, and constant lying 

And the cheating in our very own bed 

Chorus 

So cheating men and cheating women 

Don't deserve half of what they tore away 

Just a brief float in my old johnboat 

And blow them up upon the Pontchartrain 

Chorus 

Fire on the Pontchartrain (Fire on the Pontchartrain 

I'll watch the rising flame, and make a toast 

then I'll buy myself a brand new boat 

Fire on the Pontchartrain (Fire on the Pontchartrain) 

Fire on the Pontchartrain (Fire on the Pontchartrain) 

Fire on the Pontchartrain (Fire on the Pontchartrain) 

Fire on the Pontchartrain 

Such a beautiful light, such a beautiful light 

Such a beautiful life, such a beautiful life 

Such a beautiful life 

That night on the Pontchartrain 

I saw you leaving in the pouring rain 

Turned my head and I count to ten 

Now I want you back again, Such a beautiful life 

That night on the Pontchartrain 

I saw you leaving in the pouring rain 

I turned my head and I count to ten 

But I want you back again 

Its a beautiful light...for such a beautiful lie 

It was a beautiful light, such a beautiful lie 

Such a beautiful life
