    She sewed my new bluejeans

    Oh mother tell your children
    Not to do what I have done
    Spend your lives in sin and misery
    In the House of the Rising Sun

    Well, I got one foot on the platform
    The other foot on the train

    I'm goin' back to New Orleans
    To wear that ball and chain

    Well, there is a house in New Orleans
    They call the Rising Sun
    And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

    Have you seen this live video of Eric Burden and the Animals singing House of the Rising Sun? It is amazing

    You seek a great fortune, you three who are now in chains. You will find a fortune, though it will not be the one you seek.
    But first you must travel a long and difficult road, a road fraught with peril.
    You shall see things, wonderful to tell. You shall see a... cow... on the roof of a cotton house. And, oh, so many startlements.
    I cannot tell you how long this road shall be, but fear not the ob-stacles in your path, for fate has vouchsafed your reward.
    Though the road may wind, yea, your hearts grow weary, still shall ye follow them, even unto your salvation

    I know no shame

    The empire of my desire
    Gathers you into my fire
    I hope you fall. Hope you call,
    My filthy name. It makes you crawl
    On you knees, with all your pleas.
    Lay down there, look up at me.

    Are you alive my dear,and breathing?
    Are you diseased my dear,and bleeding?
    I'll lift you high my dear,
    I'll have you dreaming.
    'Tis time to say farewell, to your pleading.

    Poor devils as thou art. A ruin at my feet.
    Go drop your little life, and welcome up my sleep.
    So briefly at my side. So simple in defeat.

    No more lies utter from you.
    From mine eyes I must take you.
    No longer wise. Nothing is new.
    Tears for my trembling faith.
    You shall not die unsung.

    Goodbye my dear, you wicked thing.
    I have no tears, beautiful thing.
    No silver pail to catch them in.
    So ends this tale you did not win.

    Why have you put so many things into my eyes
    (that I can't see clear)
    Who's paid you for telling me what I'm worth
    (and run in fear)
    It has been for me a strain to see already
    (what have you done)
    The rising noise
    The sharpened smells
    The deadened sight

    What is it in my eyes
    A piece of broken glass
    Is this the time I should be on my knees for you
    Is this your way of telling
    Another has been found
    Now I know it's teargas in my eyes

    Let's go out and dance, darling
    Our last of days
    And grace the game with a blindfold on
    The cheaters came to play
    And outside the soft-handed boys
    Screaming cars and all their speed
    Music, meth, a hero beggin change
    His sword across his knees

    and how he prays to find a man to blame
    For every sleepless night he spends
    And for every well that he warned me of
    But wound up falling in
    And then for the kids beneath the balcony
    Who disregard the rain
    To make sure the king won't grant
    The dead man one more day

    let's go out and see darling
    What shines tonight
    And temper your dream about the dying horse
    With traffic, noise, and light
    And somewhere the soft-handed boys,
    Bleeding hearts, and worker bees
    Give to the holy mother begging change
    Christ across her knees

    and oh how she prays to find a man to blame
    For every loveless night she waits
    And for every gun that she frowned upon
    But still some fucker made
    And then for the kid beneath the balcony
    Behind the garbage can
    Who waits for the king to come
    And hold his sweating hand
