Curtis Eller's American Circus - Queen Of Detroit lyrics

Well the gra** was breaking up the concrete and the stone That’s when she stumbled into town And nobody was goin’ anywhere So they went and shut the monorail down And there’s 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" I’ll never look you in the eyes but I’ll always tell the truth" And the devil woke up in a cold sweat down in Toledo Well we all remember Mona she’s the Queen of Detroit And she’s gonna drive us all downtown Where the reindeer swim across that filthy river And the stray dogs have overrun the town She’s got a copper feather from the wing of an angel And it’s floating in a field of black She got the means to sink Belle Isle like an anchor But that monkey in the hat ain’t coming back But Mona walked into the town with nothing but her shoes And said, "I’ll never look you in the eyes and I’ll never tell the truth" And the devil woke up in a cold sweat down in Toledo And he’s 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 ain’t no ring But Mona put the car in park and walked out of the sticks She said, "what’s 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
