The Saints Are Coming Lyrics - Green Day

(feat. U2) 

[Originally by The Skids] 

There is a house in New Orleans 

They call the Rising Sun 

It's been the ruin 

Of many a poor boy 

And God I know I'm one 

I cried to my daddy on the telephone "how long now?" 

"Until the clouds unroll and you come down," The line went 

But the shadows still remain since your descent, your descent 

I cried to my daddy on the telephone "how long now?" 

"Until the clouds unroll and you come home," The line went 

But the shadows still remain since your descent, your descent

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Boom Cha Hey! 

The saints are coming 

The saints are coming 

I say no matter how I try 

I realize there's no reply 

The saints are coming 

The saints are coming 

I say no matter how I try 

I realize there's no reply 

A drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief, how long now 

Until a weather change condemns belief, how long now 

When the night watchman lets in the thief, what's wrong now 

Boom Cha Hey! 

The saints are coming 

The saints are coming 

I say no matter how I try 

I realize there's no reply 

The saints are coming 

The saints are coming 

I say no matter how I try 

I realize there's no reply 

I say no matter how I try 

I realize there's no reply 

I say no matter how I try 

I realize there's no reply
