lyrics

DETROIT BEAUTY SCHOOL (Tloo-Tloo)
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c.2009)

I live in a room in the Fort Shelby
I go dancing alone in the Crystal Ballroom
I light matches and pretend I'm a Pontiac
It's always blue and silver in a landslide grave
I have a job at People's Outfitting
(In an aisle like that I'll mail you a sweet light)
Roof caving in in the Detroit Commerce Building
(Years of profitability followed by sad decline)
Our lives have suffered a happier fate
(Promised renovations yet to materialize)
Sometimes when it rains I run and shout Tloo-Tloo!

I live in a room at the Book-Cadillac
You might say that I am a Medusa
The third eye I had was ripped off by vandals
Now I sit here hoping third time's a charm
