Christmas Time In Motor City |
| Christmastime in the Motor City |
| But things ain’t really pretty |
| Yeah, the streets are paved with rusty pennies |
| Smell of money in the air but you can’t earn a dollar anywhere |
| I’m out of work, it’s been a while |
| So don’t ask me to smile |
| I ain’t no scrooge, I like December |
| But I can’t even remember seeing Santa Claus this year |
| Well, I heard he got a job and he changed his name to Bob |
| Took shave in the lobby of the Cadillac Hotel |
| They gave him unemployment but no food stamps |
| We’ll give you drug but there’s no free soup |
| Christmastime in the Motor City |
| But things ain’t really pretty |
| Yeah, the streets are paved with rusty pennies |
| Smell of money’s in the air |
| It was not a night to be with birds |
| Christmas Eve without the tender words |
| Without a place to call my home |
| Sharing a square in the park with the pigeons |
| Combing my hair and feeding them bread |
| They bobbed their heads and walked right up |
| Their cup is filled but mine got spilled along the way |
| At 2 a.m., I’m off the streets, sitting in a donut shop |
| A sad-eyed girl mops the floor next to my feet |
| The light in here is far too bright |
| The radio plays 'Silent Night' |
| I sit and watch the traffic panic, it sails away |
| Look at this, it’s Christmas Day |
| Christmastime in the Motor City |
| But things ain’t really pretty |
| Yeah, the streets are paved with rusty pennies |
| Smell of money’s in the air |
