injecting strangers - detroit lyrics

[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 godd-mn 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 sh-t on my shoes
used and abused
run through the ringer
and soaked in the blues
psychosis infused
insomnia
oh you’re my muse

[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 skyscr-pers 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
