Sam Roberts
Detroit '67

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



Mirror lyrics:


There's trouble down on 12th Street
Somebody call the riot police
Remember those times?
Does anyone here tonight

Just tell me what they felt like?
Can anyone here tonight
Remember those times?
Does anyone here tonight

Hear the gun play, it's a tightrope
Past the child's play with the jump rope
I can't touch you now, like they did back then
I can't tell you how this old story ends

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Singing, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
But the memory still remains somehow
That was long ago, this is here and now
Where the Chippewa did the fire dance
This was Motown, this was New France

To ease the vice that squeezes us every day
'Cause I'm just looking for some sounds
Some look ahead, I'm going back
From Jimmy Hoffa to Cadillac
These are the streets where they collide
So many years, so many lives

Just tell me what they felt like?
Can anyone here tonight
Remember those times?
Does anyone here tonight

As she's moving you to the dance floor
Raise a glass to the ambassador
A commotion on the assembly line
This is Detroit, see the skyline

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Singing, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Tasted beautiful, tasted obscene
To the side streets, kept my nose clean

Like a film noire in the starring role
Past the abattoir and the glory holes
Feeling strange and disheveled
I went walking at street level
