Lyrics for Detroit 442

You know he can't be tested He can't be read or found Urban gray takes breath away He wants to push his pedal to the ground And the night's what's right Puts him at the wheel Well, I eat danger Any stranger is alright Feel hot to go like Jimmy O Dodging flying objects at the show And the lights make me fight In Detroit 442 Maybe baby, I could ride with you This town, a concrete factory And Dad and Mum look just like me I'm on the plant assembly line Too late now, too far behind You said you wanna hang around No one really cares where you go Take your time, things never change In Detroit 442 Maybe baby, I could ride with you Detroit 442 Maybe baby, I could ride with you Detroit 442 Maybe baby, I could ride with you Detroit 442 Maybe baby, I could ride with you One more to market, one more piggie And they all, they all look just like me, yeah
