[00:22.00] @ @
[00:32.00]
[00:33.58] I went walking at street level
[00:38.09] Feeling strange and disheveled
[00:42.10] Past the abattoir and the glory holes
[00:46.56] Like a film noire, in the starring role
[00:51.62] To the side streets, kept my nose clean
[00:55.06] Tasted beautiful, tasted obscene
[00:59.36] Singing, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[01:04.75] Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[01:08.57] This is Detroit, see the skyline
[01:12.22] A commotion on the assembly line
[01:16.49] Raise a glass to the Ambassador
[01:20.65] As she's moving you to the dance floor
[01:24.92]
[01:25.85] Does anyone here tonight remember those times?
[01:30.55] Can anyone here tonight just tell me what they felt like?
[01:35.40]
[01:42.66] So many years, so many lives
[01:45.41] These are the streets where they collide
[01:50.95] From Jimmy Hoffa to Cadillac
[01:53.70] Some look ahead, I'm going back
[01:57.57] Cause I'm just looking for some sounds
[02:00.62] To ease the vice that squeezes us every day
[02:07.46]
[02:20.75] This was Motown, this was New France
[02:24.77] Where the Chippewa did the firedance
[02:28.61] That was long ago
[02:31.23] This is here and now
[02:33.11] But the memory still remains somehow
[02:37.38] Singing, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[02:42.30] Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[02:46.53] I can't tell you how this old story ends
[02:50.12] I can't touch you now, like they did back then
[02:54.76] Past the child's play with the jump rope
[02:58.31] Hear the gun play, it's a tightrope
[03:02.88]
[03:04.02] Does anyone here tonight remember those times?
[03:07.68] Can anyone here tonight just tell me what they felt like?
[03:11.92]
[03:12.80] Does anyone here tonight remember those times?
[03:16.33] Somebody call the riot police, there's trouble down on 12th Street
[03:21.38]
