Detour Up

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Get half the way civilized, take a turn Run naked through the hallways Free your mind, people change Start to lie like fur beside the fireplace Soft and light, honest hands Hard to say how I got here in the first place Tell the wives we're running late [Chorus] I took a detour up, a detour up It wasn't in my plans but nothing was I took a detour up, a detour up The map was in the hands of none of us I took a detour up, a detour up It wasn't in my plans, nothing was I took a detour up, a detour up I don't know where I am, do all I can [Verse 2] Take the rough terrain by candlelight Purple haze, bedroom eyes Spiral like a staircase endlessly What's the use asking why Leave mystery alone, don't analyze Chalk it up to lust for life [Interlude] Dropped to the deepest strange unfamiliar place But i can't imagine going any other way [Chorus] I took a detour up, a detour up It wasn't in my plans but nothing was I took a detour up, a detour up The map was in the hands of none of us I took a detour up, a detour up It wasn't in my plans, nothing was I took a detour up, a detour up I don't know where I am, do all I can (Detour up, Detour up) (Detour up, Detour up)
