The Diamond Church Street Choir

[Verse 1] Now the lights go low on the avenue And the cars pass by in the rain The 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 Jackknives 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 [Hook] Who does it better than we do Them sopranos in Andy Diamond's choir Whoa, nobody knows I've been crazy for so long without you [Verse 2] Now 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 never forget what I told you So don't never forget what I told you Everybody singing [Hook] [Verse 3] 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 [Outro] Baby, who sings it better than we do Them sopranos in Andy Diamond's choir Whoa, 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
