Queen of Detroit

Well the grass was breaking up the concrete and the stone

That's when she stumbled into town

And nobody was goin' anywhere

So they went and shut the monorail down

And there's wheelchairs rolling down the middle of the road

And corn fields on Rosa Parks Avenue

And a pair of dark eyes in the second story window

And everytime you move they follow you

But Mona walked into the town with nothing but her shoes

And said" I'll never look you in the eyes but I'll always tell the truth"

And the devil woke up in a cold sweat down in Toledo

Well we all remember Mona she's the Queen of Detroit

And she's gonna drive us all downtown

Where the reindeer swim across that filthy river

And the stray dogs have overrun the town

She's got a copper feather from the wing of an angel

And it's floating in a field of black

She got the means to sink Belle Isle like an anchor

But that monkey in the hat ain't coming back

But Mona walked into the town with nothing but her shoes

And said, "I'll never look you in the eyes and I'll never tell the truth"

And the devil woke up in a cold sweat down in Toledo

And he's drivin' up north in the passing lane

And the sun was shining but the streets are full of rain

When the Devil takes a human wife there ain't no ring

But Mona put the car in park and walked out of the sticks

She said, "what's the best exit to pick up 696"

And the devil woke up in a cold sweat

Yea the devil woke up in a cold sweat

Down in Toledo
