We Almost Lost Detroit (Stepdad remix)
It stands out on a highway
Like a creature from another time
It inspires the babies' questions
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, this time
We almost lost Detroit
This time, this time
Yeah, we almost lost Detroit
Just thirty miles from Detroit
Stands a giant power station
And it ticks each night as the city sleeps
Seconds from annihilation
Oh, but no one stopped to think about the people
Or how they would survive
And, yeah, we almost lost Detroit
This time, this time
Yeah, we almost lost Detroit
This time, this time
And we almost lost Detroit
This time, this time
And we almost lost Detroit
This time, this time
And we almost lost Detroit
Like a creature from another time
It inspires the babies' questions
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, this time
We almost lost Detroit
This time, this time
Yeah, we almost lost Detroit
Just thirty miles from Detroit
Stands a giant power station
And it ticks each night as the city sleeps
Seconds from annihilation
Oh, but no one stopped to think about the people
Or how they would survive
And, yeah, we almost lost Detroit
This time, this time
Yeah, we almost lost Detroit
This time, this time
And we almost lost Detroit
This time, this time
And we almost lost Detroit
This time, this time
And we almost lost Detroit
