The Gaslight Anthem - The Diamond Street Church Choir lyrics

rate me

Now the lights go low on the avenue

And the cars pass by in the rain

And university boys and the girls fill the bars

While I'm just waiting on the light to change

And the steam heat pours from the bodies on the floor

Down in the basement where the jackknives play

For the hub city girls in their ribbons and their curls

Who know the meaning of staying out late

They know the meaning of staying out very, very late

Singing who, who, who does it better than we do?

Them sopranos in Andy Diamond's choir

And whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa 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've moved away from home and slept out there on my own

A million miles away in the storm

But the beat never leaves and the tempo'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 you never forget what I told you

Don't you never forget what I told you, everybody

Singing who, who, who does it better than we do?

Them sopranos in Andy Diamond's choir

And whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa nobody knows

I've been crazy for so long without you

And just, baby, who sings the rhythm and the blues

So sad, so slow, 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

But baby who, who, who sings it better than we do?

Them sopranos in Andy Diamond's choir

And whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa nobody knows

I've been crazy for so long without you

And just, baby, who sings the rhythm and the blues

So sad, so slow, like I do?

And just like you want to?
