Detour - The Who

The people try, but crash right down

Shoot at the sky, a craze with rage

We’re all good people if you go deep down

But we gotta be in keeping with the brand new age

Time for a detour

We oughta take the curve (Detour now)

Taking the detour

Ooh it’s time for a swerve (Detour now)

The world’s in a spin now

It’s time for a change

We know we can win now

We’ll share the wage, we cause no pain

We can explain, we lost the force, we went off course

Ooh, we need a detour (Detour)

(Detour)

With a curve and a swerve (Detour)

Mmm, detour (Detour)

Forget that flaw from back in the days

And the power we sought as we took the stage

Made it 15 years till we found our ways

Our direction veers as we turn the page

Gotta take a detour

The road is blocked (Detour now)

Time for a detour

Ooh, the gates are locked (Detour now)

We’re finally tracking in the path of the groove

We’re willingly backing the path of the moon

There’ll be no more pain

We can explain, we found the force, we’re back on course

We need a detour (Detour)

Gotta make the detour (Detour)

Oh, with a curve and a swerve (Detour)

(Detour)

Used to say I love you but I was straight insane

I always left you holding the weight of my pain

'Cause I couldn’t stay for even one more day

I broke two hearts, I couldn’t share the parts

Then I ran away

People try to crash right down

Shoot at the sky, a craze with rage

We’re all good people if you go deep down

But we gotta be in keeping with the brand new age

Time for a detour

We gotta take the curve (Detour now)

Making the detour

It’s time for a swerve (Detour now)

The world is spinnin'

It’s time for a change

We know we ain’t winning

We share the wage

We cause no pain, we can explain

We lost the force, we went off course

Ooh, we need a detour (Detour)

Oh, I got to have a detour (Detour)

Oh, with a curve and a swerve (Detour)

Ooh, we need a detour (Detour)

(Detour) Take a curve and a swerve

(Detour)

(Detour)

We need a detour (Detour)
