about

Holly Mae Haddock, Mary Fraser, Michael Billmire, and Serge Van der Voo play at Crazy Wisdom Bookstore in Ann Arbor, MI, June 2009

lyrics

We drive to Detroit, me and my friends
I hardly know them but I am at ease, I'm talking a lot
from the back seat
The city's bombed out. It looks like East Berlin,
only nothing's been changed, nothing's been changed
everything's broken

We go to a very dark place where we say what can't be said, oh, oh

There in the fourth room, out of the track lights
impossibly small, by nobody I ever heard of, you are
Diomedes
you were the best friend, the one inside the horse
inside wood-paneled walls, gift to the foe
the undoing of Troy

We go to a very dark place where we say what can't be said, oh, oh
