She is waiting on us in the Jazz Bon Temps in Texas
Catfish on a plate, the kitchen's open late tonight
Diamond in her mouth, sparkles when she shouts
"Hey you guys, I can wait here"
It's sad, but we have to go

Call me a stranger
Call me a fool
Call me a stranger
Call me a fool

Bellatrix is playing tricks at midnight
Give my light to the Junkie XL
Farewell Iceland belle
A cowboy is shooting a hole in a wall
It's strange, but we have to go
(To the Iron Cactus, the Electric Lounge)

Call me a stranger
Call me a fool
Call me a stranger
Call me a fool

Joni, in your blue eyes
I see open windows
Joni, in your sad eyes
I see a door, a room, a wall
Sacrifice, the rolling dice
It's all there, it's all there
Love and hate, fish and bait
It's all there, all there
There's a sign 'turnaround' at the end of a highway
I'm checking out of the Cactus Tree motel today
Sad, but I have to go

Call me a stranger
Call me a fool

Joni, in your blue eyes
I see open windows
Joni, in your sad eyes
I see a door, a room, a wall
