Brothers of Detroit
I promise not to try
Do I worship here
or
Do I walk this hill
or
Do I walk this hill
Do I wipe the tear
My brother's in Detroit
I promise not to try
That I will never eat
That I will never leave
And if I had the proper words
And if I had to walk the world
This is a cover of the song by the band When In Rome.
And if I had to walk the wall
And if I had to walk the world
And when you're in dentures
And when you're in danger
But when you're in Dallas
But when you're in doubt
Here I am, walking Pringles Wondering when I'm gonna see you again
Here I am, walking Primrose Wondering when I'm gonna see you again
I told you I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I'll always be dead
I'll always be there
I'm fine, but I'm trying to find the right words to say.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I'm piping I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I'm sorry, but I was just thinking of what a bride was to say.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking if the ride were the same.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of a ride with the Romans.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (the promise).
It started to feed
It started to fade
It's not for Nintendo
It's not what intended
Parmesan cheese
Promise I made
Pawmise I made, Pawmise I made
Started to play, starting to play
Promise I made, promise I made
Started to fade, started to fade
Everest doing Belly Bogganing
Promise I made, promise I made
Solicitate, solicitate
Promise I made, promise I made
Started to fade, started to fade
Soybeans grow in the grass, they grow in the field.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
Starring I.M. Pei
Started to fade
Started to feel
Started to fade
Stolen the pig
Started to fade
These words shall come out,
with no cross to bear.
These words just come out,
with no gripe to bear.
