Christmas in Detroit
I'm a two-way mirror
A frosted glass miracle
I'm a two-way radio
Christmas lights with a broken bulb
I'm a lonely doorbell
Haven't been rung in a while
I'm a missed connection
No one knew how to wire
This hotel room's gonna break your heart
Something so anesthetized
And sterile being torn apart
Snowed in, snowed out
It's got me by the throat
Christmas in Detroit
Christmas in Detroit
I'm a one-way ticket
On a one-way street
A harsh cul-de-sac
I'm a traffic violation
I'm the blues you can't get back
I'm a kitchen knife
Dull and I got a point
I'm a delicatessen
I'm the ache between the joints
This hotel room's gonna break your heart
Something so anesthetized
And sterile being torn apart
Snowed in, snowed out
It's got me by the throat
Christmas in Detroit
Christmas in Detroit
Oh, the phone is ringing
You're in Chinatown, barely audible
Answered on the third ring
Heartbeats palpable
It's a Wonderful Life is ending
For the third time today
I'm a messiah
A washed-out sycophant
I'm a cheap suit
I'm what once was and what can't
This hotel room's gonna break your heart
Something so anesthetized
And sterile being torn apart
Snowed in, snowed out
It's got me by the throat
Christmas in Detroit
Christmas in Detroit
A frosted glass miracle
I'm a two-way radio
Christmas lights with a broken bulb
I'm a lonely doorbell
Haven't been rung in a while
I'm a missed connection
No one knew how to wire
This hotel room's gonna break your heart
Something so anesthetized
And sterile being torn apart
Snowed in, snowed out
It's got me by the throat
Christmas in Detroit
Christmas in Detroit
I'm a one-way ticket
On a one-way street
A harsh cul-de-sac
I'm a traffic violation
I'm the blues you can't get back
I'm a kitchen knife
Dull and I got a point
I'm a delicatessen
I'm the ache between the joints
This hotel room's gonna break your heart
Something so anesthetized
And sterile being torn apart
Snowed in, snowed out
It's got me by the throat
Christmas in Detroit
Christmas in Detroit
Oh, the phone is ringing
You're in Chinatown, barely audible
Answered on the third ring
Heartbeats palpable
It's a Wonderful Life is ending
For the third time today
I'm a messiah
A washed-out sycophant
I'm a cheap suit
I'm what once was and what can't
This hotel room's gonna break your heart
Something so anesthetized
And sterile being torn apart
Snowed in, snowed out
It's got me by the throat
Christmas in Detroit
Christmas in Detroit
