"Detroit Breakdown" lyrics
"Detroit Breakdown"
Music is blastin', we're havin' a ball
Everybody's doin' it right in the hall
Plaster is fallin' right on the floor
We're tearin' it up and that's for sure
Doin' the Detroit breakdown
Oh, Motor City shakedown
A-doin' the Detroit breakdown
I said the Motor City shakedown
Jumpin' toes and everything goes
Hot night, sweatin' right in your clothes
I'm bittersweet for dancin' feet
Everybody did it, found her right in the street
Doin' the Detroit breakdown
I said Motor City shakedown
Ow, Detroit breakdown
Hey, Motor City shakedown
I'm losin' touch, I'm feelin' no pain
Everything is headed right down the drain
I'm gettin' crazy, this I swear
I'm past my limit, honey, I don't care
Doin' the Detroit breakdown
Oh, Motor City shakedown
Ah, Detroit breakdown
Oh, Motor City shakedown
Breakdown
Yeah
Come on
Ow
Do it
Um
Uh
Yeah
If you're goin' out on, ooh, on a dare
Don't get caught, baby, found in my bed
Station to station, what you got
I'm gettin' ready, man, to blow my top, yeah
Ah, hands on my head and I'm holdin' my 'caine
Jumpin' up and crazy, I've gone insane
I got somethin' mean stickin' in my pocket
Until you tried it, you better not knock it
Doin' the Detroit breakdown
Oh, Motor City shakedown
Yeah, Detroit breakdown
You're doin' the Motor City shakedown
Let me hear ya, Jerome
Detroit breakdown
I said the Motor City shakedown
Oh, Detroit breakdown
Oh, the Motor City shakedown
Come on, babies
Now do the Detroit breakdown
You hear me? You're doin' the Motor City shakedown
Let me see you baby, ah, do the Detroit breakdown
Oh, the Motor City shakedown
Shake it, shake it, baby
Yeah
Wow
Oh, you're doin' the Detroit breakdown
Yeah, Motor City shakedown
Let's do the Detroit breakdown
Motor City shakedown
Doin' it
Ah yeah, doin' it
Doin' it
Ah, doin' it
The Detroit breakdown, ha
Motor City shakedown
Ow, the Detroit breakdown
Doin' it, doin' it, don't you say
Shake it down

The Pretenders - "My City Was Gone" I went back to Ohio
But my city was gone
There was no train station
There was no downtown
South Howard had disappeared
All my favorite places
My city had been pulled down
Reduced to parking spaces...
Warren Zevon - "Lawyers, Guns And Money" Well, I went home with the waitress
The way I always do
How was I to know
She was with the Russians, too
I was gambling in Havana
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money
Dad, get me out of...
Billy Squier - "Everybody Wants You" You see 'em comin' at you every night
Strung on pretension, they fall for you at first sight
You know their business, you think it's a bore
They make you restless, it's nothin' you ain't seen before...
Savoy Brown - "Tell Mama" Quit my job, ain't got no money
Seems I have to leave this town
Packed my bags, run to the station
Board the train that's eastward bound
Tell Mama
And all the folks back home
Sometimes a man just...
