Something heavy going down

Golden Earring

Compositor: Barry Hay / George Kooymans

On the streets that go by number
Still can't figure out how to get home
There is no life lines, only dead lines
Sure picked a fine time to be born

First you taste it then you're wasted
By the time you're almost 16 years old
Everything used to be so simple
Like the beating of a heart
Dedicated to my little darling
Right until the day we'd part
There's a fist on the door
I can hear it knocking
Gotta check it out
Beyond a shadow of a doubt

There's something heavy going down
And there's more to it than a pistol and a gun
There's something going down

On a midnight operation
When the searchlights make your skin crawl
My reaction to the action is
I don't wanna be doing this at all
Breaking rules that are made in schools
That teach you how to be successful
Used to be oh so simple
Like the beating of a heart
Dedicated to my little darling
Right until the day we'd part
There's fist on the doorI can hear it knocking
Gotta check it out
Beyond a shadow of a doubt

There's something heavy going down
And there's more to it than a pistol and a gun
There's something going down
Something heavy going down
There's more to it than a pistol and a gun
There's something going down,
Something heavy going down
There's more to it than a rocket and a bomb
There's something going down,
Something heavy going downA
Nd there's more to it than a pistol and a gun
There's something going down, down, down, down yeah
Something heavy going down
