| 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
|

|
| or how they would survive,
|
| and we almost lost Detroit
|
