Morning Up in Motown Lyrics

Atlantic eyes

I believe it's time

We start taking sides

We take sides tonight

It's come to this

So god bless this mess

It's high time we bid

Farewell to the grid

I had a vision last night, a prophecy

A portent in the sky

Precession of the globe contingent on

The omen's star in flight

The ice floe's melting, the spring is thawing

And reading our last rites

I guess we spoke too soon about another June

The ides of March demand that we take sides

And I wonder, who

Who can be trusted

When no one around is trusting you

And who

Who will be gutted

When the power leaves the many for the few

I heard sirens echo in my hometown

They're arcing across the sky

I saw the martial laws of gravity

Out plotting impact sites

I saw tanks rolling down south on Sibley

As we hid behind a neighbor hedge

You know a citizen-sense ain't no defense

little gypsy, we gotta get off the grid

And I wonder, who

Who can be trusted

When no one around is trusting you

And who

Who will be gutted

When the power leaves the many for the few

And I know where we're going

But the way we're gonna get there

Seems a little bit funny to me

And I know it don't figure

Put your finger on the trigger

Now it's animal vs. machine

There's a little place

Down on Trumbull and Michigan

By the club we used to play

What once was a forum

Now lay in ruins

But ruins will protect us on judgment day

When we find that we can wake up in the morning

And we see no other signs of life

It's fight or flight

Out in the wild, baby

Like animals, you know we're gonna cry

It's morning up in Motown - guess we made it through the night

It's morning up in Motown - guess we made it through the night

It's morning up in Motown - guess we made it through the night
