Detour Up

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)
