4. Detour (3:46)
(Detour, detour)
Ooh, we got to make a detour
(Detour, detour)
When people try to crash right down
Shoot at the sky, 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 curb (Detour now)
Taking the detour
It's time to 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 ways, we cause no pain
We can't explain, we lost the force, we went off course
Ooh, we need a detour (Detour)
With a curve and swerve
Mmm, detour
Forget that fall from back in the days
And the power we saw as we took the stage
Made it 15 years till we found our ways
Adolescent fears as we turn the page
Gotta take a detour, the road is blocked
Time for a detour, ooh, the gates are locked
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't explain, we found the force, we're back on course
We need a detour
Don't hit the detour
With a curve and swerve
Ah, 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'd work too hard
I couldn't share the ??
Then I ran away
When people try to crash right down
Shoot at the sky, 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 curb (Detour now)
Making a detour
It's time for a swerve (Detour now)
The world is spinning
It's time for a change
We know we ain't winning
We'll share the ways, we cause no pain
We can't explain, we lost the force, we went off course
Ooh, we need a detour
Oh, got to have a detour
With a curve and swerve
Ooh, we need a detour
(Detour)
Take the curve and the swerve
Ooh, detour
We need a detour
Ooh, we got to make a detour
(Detour, detour)
When people try to crash right down
Shoot at the sky, 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 curb (Detour now)
Taking the detour
It's time to 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 ways, we cause no pain
We can't explain, we lost the force, we went off course
Ooh, we need a detour (Detour)
With a curve and swerve
Mmm, detour
Forget that fall from back in the days
And the power we saw as we took the stage
Made it 15 years till we found our ways
Adolescent fears as we turn the page
Gotta take a detour, the road is blocked
Time for a detour, ooh, the gates are locked
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't explain, we found the force, we're back on course
We need a detour
Don't hit the detour
With a curve and swerve
Ah, 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'd work too hard

We're all good people if you go deep down
But we gotta be in keeping with the brand new age

We can't explain, we lost the force, we went off course
Ooh, we need a detour
Oh, got to have a detour
With a curve and swerve
Ooh, we need a detour
(Detour)
Take the curve and the swerve
Ooh, detour
We need a detour
