Song Lyrics

Said you got tired of the same old rock n roll
Let's anew at sunset, life with a lot more soul

Well I know you spend a lot of time alone in your head
Remember what you said
I never thought you'd be so easily lead

One million lights, they're burning our eyes til the morning
Run for our lives as you watch all the cars on the freeway

And you said I' I come from Detroit City
I' I'm hard to satisfy
And I want someone like you, you look so pretty
In Detroit City

You said you got some on the city again, it's dreams
They make cuts in the heat while the siren screams

I couldn't believe someone like me would leave you so weak
We're dancing in the street
You know we don't need no sleep

One million lights, they're burning our eyes til the morning
Run for our lives as you watch all the cars on the freeway

And you said I' I come from Detroit City
I' I'm hard to satisfy
And I want someone like you, you look so pretty
In Detroit City

And now the lights are burning out
And now the boys are turning back
But you stay here with me
In the city

And he said I' I come from Detroit City
I' I'm hard to satisfy
And I want someone like you, you look so pretty
In Detroit City

Detroit City
Detroit City
Detroit City
Detroit, Detroit, Detroit
