Detroit '67

[00:39.65] I went walking at street level
[00:43.65] Feeling strange and disheveled
[00:47.84] Past the abattoir and the glory holes
[00:52.69] Like a film noire in the starring role
[00:56.35] To the side streets, kept my nose clean
[01:00.89] Tasted beautiful, tasted obscene
[01:05.93] Singing, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[01:09.25] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[01:13.68] This is Detroit, see the skyline
[01:17.65] A commotion on the assembly line
[01:22.13] Raise a glass to the ambassador
[01:26.74] As she's moving you to the dance floor
[01:29.29] Does anyone here tonight
[01:31.25] Remember those times?
[01:33.15] Can anyone here tonight
[01:44.57] Just tell me what they felt like?
[01:46.02] So many years, so many lives
[01:47.31] These are the streets where they collide
[01:52.52] From Jimmy Hoffa to Cadillac
[01:54.94] Some look ahead, I'm going back
[01:59.86] 'Cause I'm just looking for some sounds
[02:02.33] To ease the vice that squeezes us every day
[02:22.22] This was Motown, this was New France
[02:25.84] Where the Chippewa did the fire dance
[02:30.11] That was long ago, this is here and now
[02:34.48] But the memory still remains somehow
[02:39.12] Singing, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[02:43.94] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[02:47.43] I can't tell you how this old story ends
[02:51.38] I can't touch you now, like they did back then
[02:55.75] Past the child's play with the jump rope
[02:59.10] Hear the gun play, it's a tightrope
[03:05.04] Does anyone here tonight
[03:06.80] Remember those times?
[03:09.38] Can anyone here tonight
[03:11.09] Just tell me what they felt like?
[03:13.49] Does anyone here tonight
[03:15.41] Remember those times?
[03:17.64] Somebody call the riot police
[03:19.77] There's trouble down on 12th Street
[03:25.17]
