Detour Up Songtext
von Metric

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

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


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

Dropped to the deepest strange unfamiliar place
But I can′t imagine going any other way

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)
