House of the Setting Sun

(Intro) There is a house in New Orleans They call it the Setting Sun, And it’s been the ruin of many a poor girl, And me, oh God, I’m one. (Verse 1) If I had only heeded what my mama said, I’d be alive today. But bein’ so young and foolish, my Lord, Let a dark creature lead me astray. (Verse 2) Now, my mother is a minister’s wife, She frets and prays for my damned soul. And my sweetheart is a Vampire, my Lord, He drinks blood down in New Orleans. (Verse 3) Now the only thing a vampire needs Is a sweet tale for their prey. And the only time they’re satisfied, Lord, is when they’re drunk on blood. (Verse 4) Somebody go get my baby sister; Tell her not to do, not to do what I have done. But shun that house in New Orleans They call it the Setting Sun. (Verse 5) Well, I’m goin’ back to New Orleans; My mortal life is dead and gone. Yes, I’m goin’ back to spend my death. Beneath, the Setting Sun. (Outro) There is a house in New Orleans They call it the Setting Sun, And it’s been the ruin of many a poor girl, And me, oh God, I’m one. © 2026 Akashic Flux Collective. All rights reserved.
