Detour Ahead
Smooth road, clear day
But why am I the only one
Travellin' this way?
How strange the road you love
Should be so easy
Can there be a detour ahead?
Wake up, slow down
Before you crash and break your heart
Gullable clown
You fool, you're headin'
In the wrong direction
Can't you see the detour ahead?
The further you travel
The harder to unravel
The well he spins around you
Turn back while there's time
Can't you see the danger sign?
Soft shoulders surround you
Smooth road, clear night
Oh lucky me, that suddenly
I saw the light
I'm turning back away
From all this trouble
Smooth road, smooth road
No detour ahead
The further you travel
The harder to unravel
The well he spins around you
Turn back while there's time
Can't you see the danger sign?
Soft shoulders surround
Smooth road, clear night
Oh lucky me, that suddenly
I saw the light
I'm turning back away
From all this trouble
Smooth road, smooth road
No detour ahead
No detour ahead
But why am I the only one
Travellin' this way?
How strange the road you love
Should be so easy
Can there be a detour ahead?
Wake up, slow down
Before you crash and break your heart
Gullable clown
You fool, you're headin'
In the wrong direction
Can't you see the detour ahead?
The further you travel
The harder to unravel
The well he spins around you
Turn back while there's time
Can't you see the danger sign?
Soft shoulders surround you
Smooth road, clear night
Oh lucky me, that suddenly
I saw the light
I'm turning back away
From all this trouble
Smooth road, smooth road
No detour ahead
The further you travel
The harder to unravel
The well he spins around you
Turn back while there's time
Can't you see the danger sign?
Soft shoulders surround
Smooth road, clear night
Oh lucky me, that suddenly
I saw the light
I'm turning back away
From all this trouble
Smooth road, smooth road
No detour ahead
No detour ahead
