The Triffids - Lonely Stretch Lyrics

Send "Lonely Stretch" ringtone to your cell

I took a wrong turn off of an unmarked track

I did seven miles i couldn't find my way back

Hit a lonely stretch must be losing my touch

I was out of my depth

Land was so flat could well have been ocean

No distinguishing feature in any direction

I took her down inch-by-inch to the floor

And i pointed her nose through a crack in the door

Fingering my sliver st cristopher

And saving my empty shells for her

When night closed in up around my neck

My high beam dug deep into the black

And a shiver broke out up and down my back

Yes a shiver broke out up and down my back

Well i could have been mistaken

But i swear that i caught something in my headlights

On that cold night without another living thing in sight

Without another living soul in sight

I sing sha ia sha ia ia

I hit a lonely stretch

Oh baby i was wrong i was wrong from the start

You could die out here from a broken heart

We were two wrongs we were married at birth

And together make up one ugly flaming bird

Heck i pumped it and then i moved up into third

Could have sworn you were shining right there on the verge

I never should have let you out of my sight

I never should have let that precious spirit escape

And i sing to myself i sing to myself

I was wrong wrong from the start

You could die out here from a broken heart

We were two wrongs we were married at birth

And together make up an ugly flaming bird

Now my memorys shot i've got a bad technique

Could be driving in circles till the end of the week

But my vision is strong and my vision is true

Look out now! i'll be so good for you!

Well .....

Theres a spot on a map its just a tiny dot

That's where my sweetie lives you know that means a lot

I think of her sitting in the afternoon sun

Sitting and drinking and having fun.

I took a wrong turn i took a wrong turn

I hit a lonely stretch

Rock my soul in the bosom of abraham

Guide me back to the bosom of abraham

So high can't get over it so low can't get under it

So wide can't get around it i took a wrong turn etc.
