Golden Earring - Something Heavy Going Down lyrics

rate me

From the Album:

* Something heavy going down

On the streets that go by number

Still can't figure out how to get home

There is no life lines only dead lines

Sure picked a fine time to be born

First you taste it then you're wasted

By the time you're almost 16 years old

Everything used to be so simple

Like the beating of a heart

Dedicated to my little darling

Right until the day we'd part

There's fist on the door

I can hear it knocking

Gotta check it out

Beyond a shadow of a doubt

There's something heavy going down

And there's more to it than a pistol and a gun

Something heavy going down

On a midnight operation when the searchlights, make your skin crawl

My reaction to the action is

I don't wanna be doing this at all

Breaking rules that are made in schools

That teach you how to be successful

Used to be so simple

Like the beating of a heart

Dedicated to my little darling

Right until the day we'd part

There's fist on the door

I can hear it knocking

Gotta check it out

Beyond a shadow of a doubt

Refrain: ...

And there's more to it than a pistol and a gun

There's something going down, something heavy going down

There's more to it than a rocket and a bomb

There's something going down, something heavy going down

And there's more to it than a pistol and a gun

There's something going down down down down yeah

Something going down
