Detour Lyrics

Take me to the mountain higher than before

Take me to the fountain and offer me a pour

I've been spinning in the dark here

So please show me the door

Take me to the Cliff's Edge with the Silverlake hipsters

I just drove in from the Badlands on the road just like a drifter

But the canyon of my wandering always echoes with the whispers

Of a life made out of wrong turns and I'm always on a detour

You can find me in the outfield just staring at the clouds

And you can find me in the front row staring straight at the ground

It doesn't matter where I am though, I'm always trying to get out

So take me to the mountain and hitherto the Greenwood

Take me where the whispers offer nothing but the feel goods

I could make it on the run but I want to know just what I'm looking for

And not rush into the wrong turns and get out of this detour

So take me to the mountain

Take me where I'm sure

The signs for all the wrong turns find me nevermore

I'm never coming back here

Now that I know just what I'm looking for

It's taken me a long time to get out of this detour

It's taken me a long time to get out of this detour

It's taken me a long time to get out of this detour
