Turn Down The Lights
04:43

It's been a long, long time
Since I've felt alive
It's been just three days
But it's still too much
We should never go out
We should stay inside
Pull the curtains down
And stay inside
Turn down the lights
Turn down the lights
And stay inside
Turn down the lights
And never go out
It's been a long, long time
Since I've felt alive
So now I'm gonna get up
Spit out all the pain that I got
'cause right now I just feel
Like always want to feel
Gimme your hand, babe
I'll pull the curtains down
Turn down the lights
And stay inside
Turn down the lights
And never go out
Do you understand what we're trying to say
I mean
Can you really dig all this shit and all this noise
Well, if you don't
You know what you should do
You should
Roll with Detroit
Roll with Detroit
Roll with Detroit
Roll with Detroit
Roll, babe roll
Throw away everything you know
All the god damn Rolling Stones
And Led Zepellin and Muddy Waters and Bob Dylan
And everything you hear on the TV and on the radio
And all the folk and blues and jazz
You know what you should do
Roll with Detroit
Throw away Mozart and Beethoven and Tchaikovsky
And roll babe, roll with Detroit
Turn down the lights
And stay inside
Turn down the lights
Babe never go out
Turn down the lights
Fuckin' turn down the lights
And never go out

Tell me something, boss
Can I get this weekend off
Or do I
Need to share
Links on Twitter
Where you're naked in bed
Gotta tell you something, boss
I know you're
A pornstar
But it's all acting boss
Where money rolls
No one cares for your soul
You feel the pleasure
Can you pay the cost
When everything's falling apart
I'm a guy who believes in love
I've had enough
Paid my dues
I've done my time
Paid my dues
Keep on fucking boss
You're so cool
Keep on fucking boss
You're so cool
I'm gonna use my soul
Get myself
A band that is strong
Everytime the riff rushes out
Maybe then you'll realize
You've been livin' a damn lie
Maybe then you'll realize
I've had enough
Paid my dues
I've done my time
Paid my dues
Keep on fucking boss
You're so cool
Keep on fucking boss

Malcolm Left Detroit
03:35
|

When he was sixty four
He just left Detroit
When he was sixty four
He just left Detroit
Since you've been gone
Dear Malcolm
Australia went down
Their Sun went down in darkness
Everything was covered with darkness
When he was sixty four
He just left Detroit
Today we're singin' for you, dear son
Today we're singin' for you
I went down down to Elysian Fields
And I want me some kangaroos
And go howl with them
And go riding down
And you go out to the palma tree
You better get some kangaroos
Up in heaven
Waiting for you
Dear Malcolm
You were not in the middle
Always around
Warm and gentle sound baybe
Malcolm up in the sky
I can go twice as high
Malcolm up in the sky
We can go twice as high
When he was sixty four
He just left Detroit
Today we're singin' for you, dear son
Today we're singin' for you

I always thought that I knew
What this world was all about
Always thought that I knew
What this world was all albout
Now I see that I was wrong
Now I see that I was mistreated
All the people around me
They are so untrue
Stop what you do
Get on up, get on up
Stop what you do
Get on up, get on up
Stop what you do
And better listen to
Motor City Funk
Motor City Funk
Now I see
I do all the things that I used to do
When I was a little child
It all comes right back to me
Now I see
I do all the things that I used to do
So stop just what you're doin' baybe
Stop there what you're doin' now
Stop what you do
Get on up, get on up
Stop what you do
Get on up, get on up
Stop what you do
And better listen to
Motor City Funk
You better change your evil ways
You better think on what's on the inside
Forget about what your outside appearance looks like
Stop what you do
Get on up, get on up
Stop what you do
Get on up, get on up
Stop what you do
And better listen to
Motor City Funk

Hey
That’s exactly why a brother came for
You trowin’ shots from a far

So hard to be doin’ what you really meant for, beauty
Don’t I make it look easy now
Don’t I make it look good

Gotta to love one another like you

Get up
Can’t beat it can’t beat it
Can’t beat it can’t beat it
Can’t beat it with the big black door
Can’t see it with this pitch black Gucci frames on
Let me get the bitches off
Let me get the full scope
Full screen HD
Let me holler at the picture
Let me put another pre-roll
Cool beans cool beans
That’s a whole lot of reefer Detroit
Get up
Feel fine
Get up
Hotdamn

Sacred Moonlight

We've been on Mars
Don't know our hearts
And we conquered everything
Every jungle, every sea
We've been on Mars
Don't know our hearts
We can swim, we can fly
Can look up and touch the sky
When you look up
What do you see
You see the stars
They shine so bright
You see your soul
Do you see laughter
Child-like, God-like laughter
Gimme your hand
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Just gimme your hand
And try to feel
Somethin' real
Try to feel
Somethin' real
I want to pull my heart out
And then put my hand in it
And watch it bleed
Watch it fall to the ground
We've been on Mars
Don't know our hearts
And we conquered everything
Every jungle, every sea
We traveled down
We traveled way down below
We traveled down
Don't know our hearts
We're so full of hateridge
We're so full of hateridge
Can we twist and turn it
Turn it into love
Turn it into love
Turn it into love
Turn it into love
And try to feel
Somethin' real
Try to feel
Somethin' real
I want to pull my heart out
And then put my hand in it
And watch it bleed
Watch it fall to the ground
We've been on Mars
Don't know our hearts
And stop usin' technology
Throw your cellphone away
Rip off your camera
Throw your cellphone away
Don't do nothing
Stop & smell & breathe
And just do nothing
See, we've been on Mars
Don't know our hearts
Don't know our minds
We don't know nothing
We live in a lie
Big, fat lie
We live in a lie
The only medicine is
For you to try to feel
And try to feel
Somethin' real
Try to feel
Somethin' real
I want to pull my heart out
And then put my hand in it
And watch it bleed
Watch it fall to the ground
And then I'll take my own blood
And then put it on your head
And we could dance
Bare naked
In a sacred moonlight
Try to feel
Somethin' real
Try to god damn feel
Somethin' real
Somethin' real

Saint Vin

He curses, he gambles
He lies, he cheats
He don't say hello
Well baybe, he drinks
He's friends with ladies of the night
He gets up late
His house is a mess
He don't care for himself
Nobody knows him
Neighbours only know his name
They say he's weird
Sittin' on a porch
Listenin' to Mr. D
Has a sign on his head
„Avoid“ it says
He's a good man
Others can't see
He's a good man
He's a good man
Eyes can't see
Saint Vin
His wife is sick
It's been 8 years now
Vin visits her and makes her laugh
He does her laundry
She doesn't remember him
His cat is eating better food than him
Keeps his goodness like a secret
I'll call him
He's a good man
Others can't see
He's a good man
He's a good man
Eyes can't see
Saint Vin

Purple Johnny
03:20

Where can I put my ash
It's time to tell the tale of Purple Johnny, babe
Purple Johnny cleanin' his gun
Gettin' ready to shoot at the sun
Purple Johnny waxin' his shoes
His boat is ready
For a cruise at the moon
Forsaken child with no home
Without a place he can call his own
When he was left for the first time alone
He sprayed with purple all of his walls
Suddenly he felt joy
He was calm for the first time
Later in school he loved to draw
Sky and stars he painted purple, you know
Teacher was not happy, wasn't satisfyed
Sky is blue and yellow is sun, little Johnny
Don't fucking fool around Johnny
Don't fool around
He was sad but up with a plan
He's gonna hijack the plane
The fastest one with rocket on
If you can see it, dreams will come true
Purple Johnny died for you
All cans are filled to the top
With purple colour he saved through his life
Purple Johnny gonna fly to the sun
He doesn't care for the dangers of the journey
He's doing it for the beauty
Johnny never made it to sun
A star ate him
Star with no name, with no shine
Sun remained yellow, still shines bright
But in the night, when everything's dark and clear
You can see that purple spot
If you can see it, dreams will come true
Purple Johnny died for you

Riot In Detroit

Extreme disorder
All over Detroit
Federal troops are on the ground
Motherfuckers all around
He says: "Where you runnin' down here boi
What you were doin' in that hotel
It ain’t polite to hang out with whites
Now you’re gonna end up dead"
Order must be restored
Yells president Johnson
All laws are filled with flaws
But that motherfucker don’t seem to know cause’
He thinks about the pieces and pawns
On a chessboard
White gotta have more luck
They got that right just from the start
Shoot first then eat heart
Order must be restored
Yells president Johnson
All laws are filled with flaws
But that motherfucker don’t seem to know because
He thinks about the pieces and pawns
On a chessboard
White gotta have more luck
They got that right just from the start
Shoot first then eat heart
Order must be destroyed

Farewell My Friend
03:46

Farewell my friend
Gonna miss you everyday
Thousand miles away
Trying to remember
Every second we spent
Makin’ music always the same
So we can put it on a record
That everybody can play
Big dreams my friend
Are never too late
We’re gonna hit it one day
Ride those dolphins across the bay
In favorite local bar
Detroit brothers are playin' it loud
Favorite local bar
Farewell my friend
Gonna miss you everyday
Farewell my friend
Gonna miss you
Chain smokin’ blindness
I can’t even see them chains
This love is so damn hard on me
I need to break free
This time I need
To say goodbye
This time I need
To say goodbye
Farewell my friend
Gonna miss you everyday
Farewell my friend
Gonna miss you

I Have Sinned
04:31

Forgive me darlin'
I have sinned
Forgive me
I have sinned
Always wanted everything
Just for me
Forgive me
I have sinned
Always went by
With the rules
'cause I thought that it was the best
For me to do
When I was seventeen
I quit goin' to church
Forgive me darlin'
I have sinned
Forgive me darlin'
I have sinned
Now I see
I was wrong
Now I see
I was blind
All I had to was pray
And be thankful
For each and every day
Forgive me darlin'
I have sinned
