My Friend Detroit can't seem to keep up   Tell me about it man, neither can I   But I still avoid sleeping in the summertime   While you cut ties longer than I-75      In this basement, A steady climate   You're the variable      The wind isn't bringing anything in   That isn't sun behind that shade   Only rain on your own parade      I'd bring over aspiring clergy   If I was allowed in your home   So you could explain what it's like   To spend the rest of your life alone      The big difference between you and me   Is understanding the word "alive"   It's more than deep breaths and blinking eyes   We may struggle...but at least we try      The wind isn't bringing anything in
