Lyrics
Boys In The Band
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're walking like you never seen the light
You're walking like it every night
But I've never seen you dance,
and I've never heard you sing
So how can it mean a single thing
It's all so rudimentary
You're talking like your handy in the fight
You talk about it every night
But I've never seen those flowers,
in the barrel of a gun
All I've ever seen you do is run
It's all so rudimentary
So tell me baby how does it feel
I know you like the roll of the limousine wheel
And they all get them out for
(they all get them out)
For the boys in the band
(only for the boys in the band)
They twist and they shout for
(they twist and they scream and shout)
For the boys in the band
(only for the boys in the band)
You're walking like you never seen the light
You're walking like it every night
But then I start to think
and I ask myself why
It's one of those things that darling you must try
It's all so rudimentary
Now I'm jealous, I'm jealous of my own
I've no homestead but through these hearts I will roam
And they all get them out for
(they all get them out)
For the boys in the band
(only for the boys in the band)
They scream and they shout for
(they twist and they scream and shout)
For the boys in the band
(only for the boys in the band)
Well tell me baby how does it feel
I know you like the roll of the limousine wheel
And they all get them out for
(they all get them out)
For the boys in the band
(only for the boys in the band)
They scream and they shout for
(they twist and they scream and shout)
For the boys in the band
(only for the boys in the band)
Yes they all want them out for
(they all want them out)
For the boys in the band
(only for the boys in the band)
They scream and they shout for
(they twist and they scream and shout)
For the boys in the band
(only for the boys in the band)
