Standing Songtext

von Dave Hollister

(I've been down)
(I've been down hearted, baby)
(Ever since the day we met)
(Ever since the day we met)
(I've been down hearted, baby)
(I've been down)
(I've been down hearted, baby)
(Ever since the day we met)
(Ever since the day we met)
Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep
Moonlight spills on comic books
And superstars in magazines
An old friend calls and tells us where to meet
Her plane takes off from Baltimore
And touches down on Bourbon street
We sit outside and argue all night long
About a god we've never seen
But never fails to side with me
Sunday comes and all the papers say
Ma Teresa's joined the mob
And happy with her full time job
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
(I've been down hearted, baby)
(I've been down)
(I've been down hearted, baby)
(Ever since the day we met)
(Ever since the day we met)
(I've been down hearted, baby)
(I've been down)
(I've been down hearted, baby)
(Ever since the day we met)
(Ever since the day we met)
Am I alive or thoughts that drift away
Does summer come for everyone
Can humans do as prophets say
And if I die before I learn to speak
Can money pay for all the days
I lived awake but half asleep
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
A life is time
They teach you growing up
The seconds ticking killed us all
A million years before the fall
You ride the waves
And don't ask where they go
You swim like lions through the crest
And bathe yourself on zebra flesh
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
Doo doo dum doo doo dum doo
I've been down hearted, baby
I've been down hearted, baby
Ever since the day we met
Ever since the day we met
Ever since the day we met
