Mark Lanegan
Letter Never Sent
[Verse 1]
If painful reflection
Was your soul intention
My imagination
Now leads to attention
[Verse 2]
The girls at the station
The freaks and their factions
The pimps and addicted
Want a piece of the action
[Chorus 1]
You could have sent me a letter
A letter never sent
[Verse 3]
Murder or manslaughter
Stepson or stepdaughter
Paid for the patent
Where sickness is latent
[Verse 4]
The torch to the trash fire
A ghost's voice on a death wire
Revenge the sweeter
My skull and your tire iron
[Chorus 2]
You could have sent me a letter
A letter never sent
You could have sent me a letter
A letter never sent
[Verse 5]
If sad introspection
Was my lone invention
Your blood-colored boots
Might have sparked my fixation
[Verse 6]
This minor infraction
Caused your wild reaction
My stripped naked wheels
Couldn't catch any traction
[Chorus 3]
You could have sent me a letter
A letter never sent
You could have sent me a letter
A letter never sent
