Blue Detour Songtext
von Bob Neuwirth

Shooting, flashing signs
Down the highway
Blue arrows to the heart
Broken lines whisper my way
Secret signals in the dark

Some are meant to spend a lifetime
Trying to read between the lines
Reaching for the truth
That flies
Just behind those flashing signs


Next to the crazy blue detour
They write sad songs about
By that old dead man′s curve
That's turned a world around

So I′ll burn up those old maps followed
Drawn by the ones who've gone before
They're trapped by the rivers of sorrow
That washed out the bridges of their road

Leaving the final blue detour
They write sad songs about
And that old dead man′s curve
That turns a man′s route around
Inside out
