Lyrics Mark Lanegan

Mark Lanegan

Letter Never Sent

A painful reflection was your sole intention

My imagination now leads to attention

The girls at the station, the freaks and their factions

The pimps and addicted want a piece of the action

Oh... you could have sent me a letter

Oh... a letter never sent

Murder or mass slaughter, stepson or stepdaughter

Picked for the patent where sickness is latent

The torch to the trash fire, ghost boys on death wire

Re-dredge the sweeter, my skull and your tire iron

Oh... you could have sent me a letter

Oh... a letter never sent

Oh... you could have sent me a letter

Oh... a letter never sent

If sad introspection was my lone invention

Your blood-covered boots might have sparked my fixation

This minor infraction caused your wild reaction

My stripped naked wheels couldn't catch any traction

Oh... you could have sent me a letter

Oh... a letter never sent

Oh... you could have sent me a letter

Oh... a letter never sent
