Lyrics
Detroit 442
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 know he can't be tested
He can't be read or found
Urban grey takes breath away
He wants to push his pedal to the ground
And the night's what's right
Puts him at the wheel
Well, I eat danger, any stranger is all right
Feel hot to go like Jimmy O
Dodging flying objects at the show
And the lights make me fight
In Detroit 442, maybe, baby
I could ride with you
This town's a concrete factory
And Dad and Mum look just like me
I'm on the plant assembly line
Too late now. Too far behind
You said you want to hang around
No-one really cares where you go
Take your time, things never change
In Detroit 442, maybe, baby
I could ride with you
In Detroit 442, maybe, baby
I could ride with you
In Detroit 442, maybe, baby
I could ride with you
In Detroit 442, maybe, baby
I could ride with you
One more to market, one more piggie
And they all, they all look just like me, yeah
