Take Me To Detroit

Lyrics

[Chorus] I miss New York, the good old days are long past The party ended as soon as the streets were cleared off the trash I miss the "A" Train and the ride to Rockaway Avenue There's nothing left here to destroy So take me to Detroit Take me to Detroit [Verse 1] I don't feel right, there's no bite in The Big Apple Tried to fight but I wish I could just time travel Back to Lou Reed and Nico going bananas Not this fashion label pretty punk manufactured Maybe there's still some grit in the motor city Cheap house to rent, I'll cover it in graffiti I'll demolish dance floors in the birthplace of techno 'Cause I can't hang in Williamsburg just drinking Prosecco [Chorus] I miss New York, the good old days are long past The party ended as soon as the streets were cleared off the trash I miss the "A" Train and the ride to Rockaway Avenue There's nothing left here to destroy So take me to Detroit Take me to Detroit [Verse 2] Where's the S&M bars like the movie Cruising Wish I could hit my head, wake up desperately seeking Susan But I'll never be back, no matter how much I wanna 'Cause there never ever can be another Madonna It used to feel like the center of the world The place where freaks could go and the boys could be girls From the b-boys in the Bronx To the jazz joints in Harlem The city never sleeps That's how every dream started [Chorus] I miss New York, the good old days are long past The party ended as soon as the streets were cleared off the trash I miss the "A" Train and the ride to Rockaway Avenue There's nothing left here to destroy So take me to Detroit Take me to Detroit
