Detroit Lyrics by HVL

Lingo​-​Three

2007

[Instrumental]
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I thought I had it right
By trying to share the image of Lingo-Three
But soon I found out
That ideas can be worse than a disease…any disease…
[Chorus 1]
Detroit! Only Detroit could turn a thing of wonder into a world-ending machine
Detroit! Only Detroit could be so single-minded, create the fate that killed Lingo-Three
Detroit! The Big Three was a cruel mother
[Verse 1]
Within a century of coming here
Everything was sick or dead
And the empty shells of the automobile
Marked the place whеre thinking died
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I thought he had it right
By keeping such a mеmory alive
But I knew he had had doubts
I saw it in his face when we arrived; we wouldn’t survive…
[Chorus 2]
Detroit! Only Detroit could turn a thing of wonder into a world-ending disease
Detroit! Only Detroit could be so single-minded to create the fate that killed Lingo-Three
Detroit! The Big Three was a cruel mother
[Verse 2]
Within a century of coming here
Everyone was left for dead
And a union bar marks the place
Where Kago died and the hope had run out
[Chorus 3]
Only Detroit could turn a thing of wonder into a world-ending disease
Detroit! Only Detroit could be so single-minded to create the fate that killed Lingo-Three
Detroit!
