Why Winter In Detroit? Lyrics - Singles - The Gay Blades

Why winter in Detroit when it's so cold 

And the wind sweeps out the frozen north and blows 

And tears apart your far too skinny bones 

Its just I need to have you hear to find these words 

Without your face they're sticking like a curse 

Well I haven't even wrote a single verse 

I can't live, I can't sleep, I can't die til I hold you near 

Because its kill, kill, kill or be killed 

And its drink, drink, drink, drink, 

'Til you've agreed to sell your car 

But even still, I think I proved my point so well 

That winter in Detroit is Hell. 

Why winter in Detroit when you can stay 

With me another boy stuck in this place 

It's not too much a single bed and dust 

Its just I need to have you hear despite this purse 

Those boys have shoulders chipped clear to their nerves 

Forged from steel and bourbon they're the worst 

I can't live, I can't sleep, I can't die til I hold you near 

Bands and the streets and the boys and it all 

I'll take on anyone, I'll take on anyone 

I got what I want and I won't let it go 

I'll take on anyone, I'll take on anyone 

The lions share of the time we spent 

It won't be long we won't forget 

We've learned the price of the distance well 

I know you won't...
