Rudely awakened with a samurai sword It’s sunk in my sails Her pigtails soaked in entrails Soaked in wine from the night before And she shoots me my own Goddamn smile right back at me and I feel like laughing This new family of a stranger She’s Herod in my manger My widowed bride My murderous savior So the world is over Well it had a good run In between explosions Let’s have us some fun Cause we’ll fight to the death We’ll fight for a breath Long after breathing’s in effect cause Lungs ain’t broken Just drowning in blood Her momma said I'm a flash in the pan But here I am and I'm burning so bright like a kite On its maiden flight Fried when it flied with the stormy night And I said I don't want all of this shit on my shoes Used and abused Run through the ringer and soaked in the blues Psychosis infused insomnia Oh you're my muse So the world is over Well it had a good run In between explosions Let’s have us some fun Cause we’ll fight to the death We’ll fight for a breath Long after breathing’s in effect cause Lungs ain’t broken Just drowning in blood Miss Slipavich, you've got a baby ailing in your youth You feed her pills you feed her herbs and bathe her in vermouth Yeah she's a real martyr Like a truck without a starter Sitting in a compactor trying to reason with steel Saying, “Hey, look at my exhaust,” As it grows White like a ghost Saying that counts as a healthy breath So angels above absolve me of death Detroit Is the place Where all our dreams come true – And we feel like we're lovely Traipsing the streets Nude in our cleats Until it's a wet night in the city And the skyscrapers sink in the muck And I'm falling and crawling and dying away A nd my jaw’s on the floor but I'm trying to say That I feel like we're at our most handsome Today Today In Detroit Detroit Is the place Where all our dreams come true
