The middle

Finally figured out the bridge:

 

I can feel it coming in the air tonight,

See you workin' on that blue Pacific.

I can see you bathing in the summer light,

Turnin' tan and you look terrific.

 

You got game, boy (etc)

Spot on. This gorgeous middle eight is truly one of the highlights of the whole album. She sounds like an angel.

[Rebel 3,177]

Okay can someone figure out the Detroit line?

 

??? to Detroit, what fucking city did she sing?

[Trash Magic 28,467]

i really think she says to kill back to detroit

[Ari 88]

"Took you back to Detroit" is what I hear.

 

What about the KISS song "Detroit Rock City?"

 

Detroit is a city with a lot of music history, especially rock.

[HEARTCORE 18,971]

"To get back to Detroit, back to the promised land"

[Ari 88]

"To kill back to Detroit" makes literally zero sense, I don't know why everyone is saying that.

[Wryta Thinkpiece 3,345]

"Took you back to Detroit" is what I hear.

 

What about the KISS song "Detroit Rock City?"

 

Detroit is a city with a lot of music history, especially rock.

I WAS THINKING THIS TOO.

[Creyk 11,726]

After reading this thread I realized that I barely understand the verses

[Ari 88]

Tokyo back to Detroit?

 

I really don't know. A lot of her vocals are indecipherable on this album.

[lflflflflflflflflflf 3,722]

 

Notebook:

TOOK UR B??? DETROIT

BACK TO THE PROMISED LAND

 

In she song is sounds more like 'Took your' than 'Took you' but 'Took your back to Detroit' doesn't make sense?

Unless she means like idk sitting on the back of his motorbike

 

Yeah, I think it's "Took your back to Detroit"

Like "Took the bus" or "took the plane" - she took the back of his bike...

[Lily 120]

She performed there with Jimmy Gnecco in May 2014 that's all I can see 

 

I'm from Detroit and I'm SOOOO curious as to the reference. When I heard the song I sat up so straight at "Detroit" I wish I knew what she was saying, though. Someone mentioned the delux version saying "to kill back to Detroit" - but that makes NO sense.  It sounds like "to get back to Detroit." But other than when she came here in May, when was she ever here? I've never heard her mention it.  This is a mystery that must be solved!!

[MotelHoney 306]

i'm sure it's just 'took you back to detroit' (took yeah back to..) as it lines up with the next line anyways, 'back to the promised land'

[HEARTCORE 18,971]

The bridge of this always gives me goosebumps. The "I can see you bathing in the summer light/You turn to tan and you look terrific" part is just so supremely written and sung.

[lflflflflflflflflflf 3,722]

The notebook says "TOOK UR" but okay everyone 

[Mind Melt 10,095]

I think it's 'Took your bike to Detroit'

[MotelHoney 306]

I think it's See you walking on that blue Pacific

 

Because he's like glowing and looks amazing, he's like Jesus who can walk on water.

 

 

I think it's 'Took your bike to Detroit'

 

I agree 100%

[fork2 90]

"To go back to Detroit" I think. It's what I hear, it makes sense too.

Also "See you walking on that blue Pacific. Turning tan, you look terrific. You got game, boy."

 

[fork2 90]

I love this song so much. The hum at the beginning and the Jesus reference slays.

I should of done it anyway"

 

WHO

[lmdr 10,903]

it's 100% "to kill back to detroit" i've been listening to this song on repeat for a while i fucking love this song, underrated gem - and that lizzy grant throwback 'motorcycle love divine'
