Studio version of the song that started the concept for this album... The first song I wrote after experiencing Detroit... seasoned with months of simmering infatuation...
lyrics
my confusing conduits
my confusing conduits
my confusing conduits I just can't explain
how it felt to traverse through yr bountiful veins
breathing in yr history finally for miles and miles
(for miles and miles)
and i was tearing the walls down
and there was crashing all around
and the ceilings they were bowing down bowing down
to the breaking tide in side my mind (inside my mind)
oh...
and i've heard what they say about you
what they say about you
but its simply not true no
its simply not you oh
for all the burnt out beauties
there are pillars and arches painted in colors of grandeur
towering to take our breath away
and i was licking the walls down
and there was crashing all around
and the ceilings they were glistening now they were glistening now
awash with my tears and such demanding sound
as it echoed all around oh it echoed all around
my confusing conduits i must say i do admire you
my confusing conduits i must say i am inspired
my hearts on fire it burns it burns with a deep desire it burns it burns with a deep desire it burns
with my Detroit desire
my Detroit desire
