Cruisin' down Woodward   With my axe on my back   A bum hit me up for change,   And I stole it right back   I said, Man whatcha thinkin'?   I bet you drive a Lincoln.   And even though you got them dirty clothes,   It really got me thinkin'   I play a bum by day, but I'm a playa by night   And I'm keepin the streets clean,   In Detroit tonight.      Bright lights, long nights,   We all live in a big, big city      I've got a contract on my life   From a pushcart peddler   Girlies ask me for my name   Because they're lookin for a fella   I said, Baby how you doin?   You really got me movin'   And even though you got them slutty clothes,   You really got it goin on   In Detroit today,   And I'm playin tonight   And I'm keepin the streets clean,   In Detroit tonight.      Bright lights, long nights   We all live in a big, big city      And you ask me why,   You're never gonna die   And then I'll tell you that,   There's more to life that that   And you know that she is,   And you know that she was,   And she'll be that way forever, forever, forever...
