 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  for the light  to change
 And the steam  heat pours  from the bodies  on the floor
 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
 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
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 stone
 But the beat  never leaves
 And the temple'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
Who  does it better  than we do
 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,  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
Who  does it better  than we do
 Them sopranos  in Andy Diamond's choir
Woah, nobody  knows
 I've been crazy,  crazy, crazy,  crazy
Just,  baby who  sings the rhythm  and the blues
 So sad,  so slow,  like I do,  like I do
And just  like  you  want  to
