SAM ROBERTS - detroit '67 lyrics

Send "detroit '67" Ringtone to your Cell


I went walking at street level

Feeling strange and disheveled

Past the abattoir and the glory holes

Like a film noire in the starring role



To the side streets, kept my nose clean

Tasted beautiful, tasted obscene

Singing, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh



This is Detroit, see the skyline

A commotion on the assembly line

Raise a glass to the ambassador

As she's moving you to the dance floor



Does anyone here tonight

Remember those times?

Can anyone here tonight

Just tell me what they felt like?



So many years, so many lives

These are the streets where they collide

From Jimmy Hoffa to Cadillac

Some look ahead, I'm going back

'Cause I'm just looking for some sounds

To ease the vice that squeezes us every day



This was Motown, this was New France

Where the Chippewa did the fire dance

That was long ago, this is here and now

But the memory still remains somehow

Singing, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh



I can't tell you how this old story ends

I can't touch you now, like they did back then

Past the child's play with the jump rope

Hear the gun play, it's a tightrope



Does anyone here tonight

Remember those times?

Can anyone here tonight

Just tell me what they felt like?



Does anyone here tonight

Remember those times?

Somebody call the riot police

There's trouble down on 12th Street
