"Letter Never Sent" lyrics

Mark Lanegan Band Lyrics

"Letter Never Sent"

If painful reflection
Was your soul 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

You could have sent me a letter
A letter never sent

Murder or manslaughter
Stepson or stepdaughter
Paid for the patent
Where sickness is latent

The torch to the trash fire
A ghost's voice on a death wire
Revenge the sweeter
My skull and your tire iron

You could have sent me a letter
A letter never sent
You could have sent me a letter
A letter never sent

If sad introspection
Was my lone invention
Your blood-colored boots
Might have sparked my fixation

This minor infraction
Caused your wild reaction
My stripped naked wheels
Couldn't catch any traction

You could have sent me a letter
A letter never sent
You could have sent me a letter
A letter never sent
