Lonely Stretch

Triffids

    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.
