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 on the light to change

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Singin', "Who does it better than we do?"
Them sopranos in Andy Diamond's choir
Whoa, whoa, whoa, 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Everybody singin', "Who does it better than we do?"
Them sopranos in Andy Diamond's choir
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, nobody knows
I've been crazy for so long without you

[Bridge]
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?
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Every night waiting
So long without you

[Chorus]
Baby, who sings it better than we do?
Them sopranos in Andy Diamond's choir
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa nobody knows
I've been crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy

[Outro]
And just, baby who
Sings the rhythm and the blues
So sad, so slow, like I do
And just like you want to?
