Lyrics

What happened to Zeke? He's dead on Jones, man How about Dave? OD'd on alcohol Oh, what's Rock doing? Oh, he's living with his mother What about James? He's gone straight Well, things have been tough without the Dum Dum Boys I can't seem to speak the language I remember how they used to stare at the ground They looked as if they put the whole world Looked as if they put the whole world down The first time I met the Dum Dum Boys I was fascinated They just stood in front of the old drug store I was most impressed No one else was impressed, not at all And we'd sing "La-da-da-da-da, dum, dum, day" Well, where are you now, my Dum Dum Boys? Hey, are you alive or dead? Have you left me the last of the Dum Dum daze? And then the sun goes down And then the boys broke down People said we were negative They said we would take but we would never give But we'd sing "La-da-da-da-da, dum, dum, day" We'd sing "La-da-da-da-da" and hoped it would pay We'd sing "La-da-da-da-da, dum, dum, day" Dum, dum day Well now, I'm looking for the Dum Dum Boys Hey, where are you now when I need your noise? Now, I'm looking for the Dum Dum Boys The walls close in and I need some noise
