| It stands out on a highway | 
| like a Creature from another time. | 
| It inspires the babies' questions, | 
| «What's that?» | 
| For their mothers as they ride. | 
| But no one stopped to think about the babies | 
| or how they would survive, | 
| and we almost lost Detroit | 
| this time. | 
| How would we ever get over | 
| losing our minds? | 
| Just thirty miles from Detroit | 
| stands a giant power station. | 
| It ticks each night as the city sleeps | 
| seconds from anniahlation. | 
| But no one stopped to think about the people | 
| or how they would survive, | 
| and we almost lost Detroit | 
| this time. | 
| How would we ever get over | 
| over losing our minds? |

| money wins out every time. | 
| and we almost lost Detroit | 
| this time, this time. |

| over losing our minds? | 
| You see, we almost lost Detroit | 
| that time. | 
| Almost lost Detroit |
