Christmastime in Motor City But things ain't really pretty Leather, streets of paper, rusty panties Smell of money in the air But you kip on a dollar anywhere! I'm out of work, it's been awhile So don't ask me to smile I ain't no scrote, I liked the symbol But I can't even remember Seeing Santa Claus this year Well I heard he got a job And he's changing me to Bob You can shave in the lobby of a Cadillac Hotel They gave him unemployment but no food stamps (Once we get the cramps) They'll give you jobs But there's no place, still by the ramps Christmastime in Motor City But things ain't really pretty Leather, streets of paper, rusty panties Smell of moneys in the air (Air, air, air, air, air, air...) It was not a night to be with birds Christmas Eve without the tender words, without a place to call my home Sharing a square in the park with the pigeons Combing my hair and eating the bread They bobbed their heads and walked right up Their cup is filled but mine got spilled along the way At two a.m., I'm off the streets, sitting in a donut shop A sad-eyed girl mops the floor next to my feet A light in here is far too bright, the radio is playing “Silent Night” I sit and watch the traffic panic, it sails away Look at this...It's Christmas Day... Christmastime in Motor City But things ain't really pretty Leather, streets of paper, rusty panties Smell of moneys in the air (Air, air, air, air, air, air...)
