Something Heavy Going Down Lyrics - Something Heavy Going Down (live) - Golden Earring

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 

Sixteen 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 

There's 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, oh 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 

There's more to it than a pistol and a gun 

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 

Something heavy going down 

And 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 heavy going down
