Take Me to Detroit

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

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

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

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

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
