Lyrics
Detour Ahead
Smooth Roads, clear day
But why am I the only one traveling this way?
How strange the road to love
Should be so easy
Can there be a detour ahead?
Wake up, slow down
Before you crash and break your heart
Gullible clown
You fool you're heading in the wrong direction
Can there be a detour ahead?
The further you travel, the harder to unravel
The web he spins around you
Turn back while there is time
Don't you see the danger sign
Soft shoulders surround you
Smooth roads, clear night
Ah, lucky me that suddenly I saw the light
I'm turning back away from all my trouble
Smooth roads, smooth roads
No detour ahead
