strayed

bill callahan

well

it's strange the way

you walk behind

but seem to lead the way

oh

i know i

oh

i know i have strayed

i have taken you for a ride

left you waiting in the car

while i played death games inside

oh

i know i

oh

i know i have strayed

i have loved in haste

i've been an alley cat and a bumblebee

to your panther and your wasp

oh i have loved

while thinking only of the cost

oh

i know i

oh

i know i have strayed

i've raised a sick child to your lips

and in asking you to kiss

what i would not kiss

oh

i know i

oh

i know i have strayed

well i never thought i'd be

one of those men

with pin-ups on their wall

for all to see

i thought that was just mechanics

oh

i know i

oh

i know i have strayed

i have taken you for a ride

left you waiting in the car

while i played death games inside
