The Gaslight Anthem - The Diamond Church Street Choir lyrics

rate me

Now the lights go low on the avenue

And the cars pass by in the rain

University boys and the girls fill the bars

While I'm just waiting for the light to change

And the steam heat pours from the bodies on the floor

In the basement where the Jacknives play

For the hub city girls in the ribbons and the curls

Who know the meaning of staying out late

The know the meaning of staying out very, very late

Singing

Who does it better than we do

Them sopranos in Andy Diamond's choir

Woah, nobody knows

I've been crazy for so long without you

They'll find me beat down out in the universe

Though I'll never forget where I'm from

I might have moved away from home

And slept out there on my own

A million miles away in the stone

But the beat never leaves

And the temple's a relief

To my aching bones, rambling all over

And if I'm gone for too long

I can always hum along

So don't never forget what I told you

So don't never forget what I told you

Everybody singing

Who does it better than we do

Them sopranos in Andy Diamond's choir

Woah, nobody knows

I've been crazy for so long without you

Just, baby who sings the rhythm and the blues

So sad, so slow, so smooth

Like I do, like I do

And oh, ain't it just like you want to

And oh, ain't it just like you always wanted to

Every night waiting

So long without you

Baby, who sings it better than we do

Them sopranos in Andy Diamond's choir

Woah, nobody knows

I've been crazy for so long without you

Just, baby who sings the rhythm and the blues

So sad, so slow

Like I do

And just like you want to
