"Letter Never Sent" lyrics - MARK LANEGAN

MARK LANEGAN
"Letter Never Sent"
(Sietse Van Gorkom / Alain Johannes / Mark Lanegan)

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

[Chorus:]
You could of 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 death wire
[?] the sweeter
My skull and your tire iron

[Chorus:]
You could of sent me a letter
A letter never sent
You could of 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

[Chorus:]
You could of sent me a letter
A letter never sent
You could of sent me a letter
A letter never sent
