The Diamond Church Street Choir Lyrics - American Slang - The Gaslight Anthem

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 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 does it better than we do? 

Them sopranos in Andy Diamond's choir 

And whoa, nobody knows 

I've been crazy for so long without you 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 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 

So don't you never forget what I told you 

Everybody singing 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 

Baby, 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, crazy, crazy, crazy 

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

So sad, so slow, like I do 

And just like you want to?
