Detroit Lyrics by Injecting Strangers

Patience, Child

2014

[Verse 1]
Rudely awakened
With a samurai sword
It’s sunk in my sails
Her pigtails
Soaked in entrails
Soaked in wine from the night
Before she shoots me
My own goddamn smile right back at me
And I feel like laughing
This new family of a stranger
She’s Herod in my manger
My widowed bride
My murderous savior

[Chorus]
So the world is over
Well it had a good run
In between explosions
Let’s have us some fun
‘Cause we’ll fight to the death
We’ll fight for a breath
Long after breathing’s in effect ‘cause
Lungs ain’t broken
Just drowning in blood

[Verse 2]
Her momma said
I'm a flash in the pan
But here I am and
I'm burning so bright like a kite
On its maiden flight
Fried when it flied
With the stormy night
And I said I don't want
All of this shit on my shoes
Used and abused
Run through the ringer
And soaked in the blues
Psychosis infused
Insomnia
Oh you're my muse

[Chorus]
So the world is over
Well it had a good run
In between explosions
Let’s have us some fun
‘Cause we’ll fight to the death
We’ll fight for a breath
Long after breathing’s in effect ‘cause
Lungs ain’t broken
Just drowning in blood

[Bridge]
Miss Slipavich
You've got a baby
Ailing in your youth
You feed her pills
You feed her herbs
And bathe her in vermouth
Yeah she's a real
Martyr
Like a truck
Without a starter
Sitting in a
Compactor
Trying to reason
With steel
Saying, “Hey, look
At my exhaust,”
As it grows
White like a ghost
Saying that counts as a
Healthy breath
So angels above
Absolve me of death
Detroit
Is the place
Where
All our dreams
Come true

[Outro]
And we feel like we're lovely
Traipsing the streets
Nude in our cleats
Until it's a wet night in the city
And the skyscrapers sink in the muck
And I'm falling and crawling and dying away
And my jaw’s on the floor but I'm trying to say
That I feel like we're at our most handsome
Today
Today
In Detroit

Detroit
Is the place
Where all our dreams
Come
True
