Well the gra** was breaking up the concrete and the stone
Thats when she stumbled into town
And nobody was goin anywhere
So they went and shut the monorail down
And theres wheelchairs rolling down the middle of the road
And corn fields on Rosa Parks Avenue
And a pair of dark eyes in the second story window
And everytime you move they follow you
But Mona walked into the town with nothing but her shoes
And said" Ill never look you in the eyes but Ill always tell the truth"
And the devil woke up in a cold sweat down in Toledo
Well we all remember Mona shes the Queen of Detroit
And shes gonna drive us all downtown
Where the reindeer swim across that filthy river
And the stray dogs have overrun the town
Shes got a copper feather from the wing of an angel
And its floating in a field of black
She got the means to sink Belle Isle like an anchor
But that monkey in the hat aint coming back
But Mona walked into the town with nothing but her shoes
And said, "Ill never look you in the eyes and Ill never tell the truth"
And the devil woke up in a cold sweat down in Toledo
And hes drivin up north in the pa**ing lane
And the sun was shining but the streets are full of rain
When the Devil takes a human wife there aint no ring
But Mona put the car in park and walked out of the sticks
She said, "whats the best exit to pick up 696"
And the devil woke up in a cold sweat
Yea the devil woke up in a cold sweat
Down in Toledo
