Motor City (2025) Movie Script

- See these eyes of green
I can stare
for a thousand years
Colder than the moon
Well, it's been so long
And I've been
putting out fire
With gasoline
See these eyes of red
Red like jungle
burning bright
Those who feel me near
Pull the blinds
and change their mind
It's been so long
Well, it's been so long
I've been putting out fire
with gasoline
Putting out fire
See these tears of blue
An ageless heart
that can never mend
Tears can never dry
A judgment made
Can never bend
See these eyes so green
I can stare
for a thousand years
Just be still with me
You wouldn't believe
what I've been through
Well, it's been so long
It's been so long
And I've been putting out fire
with gasoline
Putting out fire
With gasoline
-'Cause if you don't know me
well
You had better listen
To the facts about me, baby
That you better know
I'm not one of you
You're not one of me
And the things I see
You may not see
Like, pick up the beat
And close the hand
Check me out, baby
I'm the Mix Match Man
The Mix Match Man
-Found it.
Found it.
-Miller.
-When I wake up
in the morning, love
And the sunlight hurts
my eyes
And something
without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind
Then I look at you
And the world's all right
with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
-Lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day
-A lovely day
-Lovely day, lovely day,
lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day,
lovely day, lovely day
-When the day
that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else
instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you
And the world's all right
with me
Ah, just want one look
at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
Yeah.
-Yeah?
Yeah!
Yes!
Oh!
Oh!
-Listen to the wind blow
Watch the sun rise
Run in the shadows
Damn your love,
damn your lies
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break
the chain
-Never break the chain
And if you don't love me now
-You don't love me now
-You will never love me
again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break
the chain
-Never break the chain
Listen to the wind blow
Down comes the night
Run in the shadows
Damn your love,
damn your lies
Break the silence
Damn the dark,
damn the light
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break
the chain
-Never break the chain
And if you don't love me now
-You don't love me now
-You will never love me
again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break
the chain

On trouble and strife
She had another way
of looking at life
The news is blue
-The news is blue
-It has its own way
to get to you
-Ooh, ooh
-What can I do?
-What can I do?

Oh!
-The wind blew some luck
in my direction
I caught it in my hands
today
I finally made
a tricky French connection
You winked and gave me
your okay
I'll take you on a trip
beside the ocean
And drop the top
at Chesapeake Bay
-Ain't nothing like
a scattered dose of ocean
The moon will send you
on your way
Moonlight
Feels right
Moonlight
Feels right
We'll lay back and observe
the constellations
And watch the moon
smiling bright
I'll play the radio
on Southern stations
'Cause Southern belles
are hell at night
You say you came to Baltimore
from Ole Miss
A class of '74 gold ring
The eastern moon looks ready
for a wet kiss
To make the tide rise again
Moonlight
Feels right
Moonlight
Feels right
Hey!
We'll see the sun come up
on Sunday morning
And watch it fade the moon
away
I guess you know
I'm giving you a warning
'Cause me and moon
are itching to play
I'll take you on a trip
beside the ocean
And drop the top
at Chesapeake Bay
Ain't nothing like
a scattered dose of ocean
The moon will send you
on your way
Moonlight
Feels right
-Hey.
Whoa.
I'm just playing, man.
-Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I've always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say any more
'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh
Gazing at people
Some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through
They can't understand
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end
And I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I've always missed
'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh
Oh
'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you
-Lila came the day
I heard it thunder
-Lila
-There she was,
just a-standing by herself
When she came,
she brought me flowers
And, baby...
Oh!
-Oh! Fuck!
Oh!
Aah!
- Aah!
-Whoa.
-I loved her.
I loved her.
-I still do.
-Dear friend,
if you want to feel better
Don't let the devil
make you toss this letter
If you've been crossed up
by hoodoo-voodoo
A wizard or the lizard
If you got family trouble,
man trouble, woman trouble
No light through the tunnel
If you're looking for
a true friend or a true lover
Or if you've been living
undercover
Well, I'm coming to your town
to break it all down
And help you
with all of this
I'm looking to help you
find bliss one day or one way
Can't miss
I'm here to tear all the walls
down
Doesn't matter if it's
a large town or a small town
Just like Joshua and
the fabled walls of Jericho
I'm here to tear down
the institution
God spoke to me,
said, "Listen to me
I anoint you with the power
that'll get 'em all movin'"
You're agitated,
you've prayed and meditated
You're concentrated
on getting elevated
By sundown Monday
You who come will be blessed
with a big money blessing
You will be doubted
by all the unbelievers
And all of the friends
I'm addressing
But you must tell
seven friends
You must first bring
seven friends
And don't be selfish
and keep this all to yourself
And don't eat shellfish
Hate is trying to take someone
else's love for yourself
But I'm here to tell you
That love is trying to help
someone else
I realize that you have tried
and tried
And are just about ready
to give up
But I got good news for you
God has spoken to my mind
and told me to tell you
To get moving in the right
direction for a change
I'm gonna put you
in the fast lane!
You need to see me right away
so I can fix this-ah
You need to see me
right away
You need to see me right away
so I can fix this-ah
You need to see me
right about now
God of Seven, open up
the windows of heaven
And pour out a rich
and mighty blessing
Not on his town or her town,
but your town
Are you ready
for the message?
I have a special
financial blessing
That once I have placed
in your hand
Yeah, I want you to begin
using this blessing
On the very first day
that you can
And if you are suffering
a strange sickness-ah
Or someone is blocking up
all of your success-ah
You need to see me right away
so I can fix this-ah
Signed sincerely, yours
in faith, love, and peace,
your friend Archbishop
Harold Holmes.
