Detroit Lyrics

I didn't know what time it was when the sun went down
Detroit, mission the bus downtown
Last I was fighting on the street
But tonight I have a girl next to me on this cold world
She brings me heat


I gotta good feeling in a bad city tonite
I gotta good feeling that everything's gonna be alright
Some run, some fight
Detained in illegal custody spent the nite in jail
With a drunken priest and a hooker
$500 bill nobody know who was standing in the street
Like that I hit the ground to make a sound


I gotta good feeling in a bad city tonite
I gotta good feeling that everything's gonna be alright
Some run, some fight, I gotta good feeling in a bad city tonite


Bus dropped me off and I had to cough
I couldn't breath cuz I got ripped off
I couldn't realize by being satisfied cuz it runs so thin
And that's why I'm pissed off
We had no money, we had no time
She had the champagne, I had the cisco wine
She said "do you want to come, you better hurry
Because we'll have hell to pay


I gotta good feeling in a bad city tonite
I gotta good feeling that everything's gonna be alright
Some run, some fight, I gotta good feeling in a bad city tonite

didn't know what time it was when the sun went down Detroit, Michigan on the bus downtown Last I was fighting all in the street But tonight I got a girl next to me in this cold world She brings me heat

I gotta good feeling 'bout a bad city tonight I gotta good feeling everything's gonna be alright Some run, some fight gotta good feeling 'bout a bad city tonight

Detained in legal custody spent the night in jail With a drunken priest and a hooker $500 bail nobody knew ?????? who was standing in the street like that I hit the ground to make a sound

I gotta good feeling 'bout a bad city tonight I gotta good feeling everything's gonna be alright Some run, some fight gotta good feeling 'bout a bad city tonight

Bus dropped me off and I had to cough I couldn't breath cuz I got ripped off I couldn't realize by being satisfied cuz it runs so thin And that's why I'm pissed off She had the money, I had the time She had the champagne, I had the cisco wine She said "do you want to come, cause you better hurry or there'll be hell to pay

great song either way

i think its a song about a time tim or matt was in detroit. It touches on how being in a new city can be lonely, exciting and rough. In a jail cell, probably drunk tank, He meets a girl, whose a prositute, he screws her while a priest is sleeping hence the line "you wanna come you better hurry, or we'll have hell to pay." The song also describs how a one night stand isnt really worth much because its just one night. I also think that the line "500 dollar bail" could be "500 dollar bill" because of the line "she had the money" and "I couldnt breath cuz I got ripped off". However i doubt it because thats a big bill for someone on the streets to be carying. Unless bill meant what the girl wanted for her service, but then why would he pay that amount and if did get ripped off, I think there should be some reference to how he was robbed.
