The Diamond Church Street Choir

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 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?

Than 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 storm

But the beat never leaves

And the tempo's a relief

I took 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?

Than them sopranos in Andy Diamond's choir?

Woah, 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 sings it better than we do?

Than 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
