What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I went walking at street level
2
Feeling strange and disheveled
3
Past the abattoir and the glory holes
4
Like a film noire in the starring role
5
To the side streets, kept my nose clean
6
Tasted beautiful, tasted obscene
7
Singing, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
8
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
9
This is Detroit, see the skyline
10
A commotion on the assembly line
11
Raise a glass to the ambassador
12
As she's moving you to the dance floor
13
Does anyone here tonight
14
Remember those times?
15
Can anyone here tonight
16
Just tell me what they felt like?
17
So many years, so many lives
18
These are the streets where they collide
19
From Jimmy Hoffa to Cadillac
20
Some look ahead, I'm going back
21
'Cause I'm just looking for some sounds
22
To ease the vice that squeezes us every day
23
This was Motown, this was New France
24
Where the Chippewa did the fire dance
25
That was long ago, this is here and now
26
But the memory still remains somehow
27
Singing, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
28
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
29
I can't tell you how this old story ends
30
I can't touch you now, like they did back then
31
Past the child's play with the jump rope
32
Hear the gun play, it's a tightrope
33
Does anyone here tonight
34
Remember those times?
35
Can anyone here tonight
36
Just tell me what they felt like?
37
Does anyone here tonight
38
Remember those times?
39
Somebody call the riot police
40
There's trouble down on 12th Street
